Best sounding CD Player for $3K or less used?

There’s a Wadia 850 with GNSC Statement mods to it for sale hear at your budget.
I had one for 7 years and it is by far the best player from the list above.
Awesome player with the mods from GNSC

Btstrg, curious as to your "by far best player" comment....

Have you heard everything on the above list? And if so, in your system?

Marantz sa 11 ,

i think a better question to ask is what player(s) will staisfy a particular preference for $3000 or less. As has been said before, best is very subjective. if there are 10 players suggested to be the best, only one or none of them are. what does best mean ?

Your first thread and you are questioning my comment, good for you.

NO, I have NOT heard everything on the list but 3 of them and with in the past 4 months.

May I ask you what on YOUR list have you heard in your system??

Obviously not the Wadia 302 as you said, you have only heard it sounds like the 301.

What others have you ONLY heard about?? Can you tell us about your system and what players you have had in it?

You give a list but offer no other information as why?

The Wadia 830,301 and 302 hold no weight to a GNSC Statement moded 850.

I have had all 4 of these players (Wadia's) in my system at one point or another.

I now have a Wadia 581.

I probably shouldn’t have commented on the others ( non Wadia Players) so I will take that back as I have not heard them in MY system, but please shed some light on YOUR list.

How did you come up with it? If it was word by mouth like the 302 was, it has no validity to it either does it!
