thks all,this is what i was thinkin',for 2250.00 used--Ayre CX7,RA Opus 21,Cary 303/300,and 1000.00 more a Wadia 861.also the modded Sony 999 gets recommended lots.anything jump out????
What I mean is that digital innovation happens quickly. Get something that you will be able to sell and get most of your money out of when you upgrade, minimizing your loss. I think $1500 (maybe 2K) is all you need to spend to get very good digital playback, and not lose your shirt on upgrade. One other caveat, I am talking about $1500-2K used.
thks Pardales,i think i will go used and hit the brakes at 2k.that sounds like a smart thing?!
