Any previous Wadia users?? Or did everyone move?

Hi,

I am playing with a Wadia 860x but am thinking of upgrading. An automatic option would be to buy the Wadia 581 with the GNSC mod. However I don't see many people using this player on the forum. I actually don't see many people using Wadia at all. Is there any reason for that? Did everyone switch or has Wadia never been popular? I see many people using the EMM-labs player (either one box or Transport/DAC) with great succes. Apparently an excellent player.

Does anyone can give their view why or why not they use Wadia and have eg EMM-Labs as alternative?

This might help me in making my decision.

Thanks

I've got a Wadia 830 with GNSC Ref mods. Wadia is synonomous with quality and Steve at GNSC knows how to make it sing. If your simply considering two different models of Wadia, have this conversation with Steve Huntley. Know one knows Wadia and it's potential better than he does and he can work magic with his mods.

I'm a Wadia user .

I think one of the main reason you question about is that Wadia sound simpy set you apart from discussion , sorry it may sound too flat simple , but it is like that .. for me at least ..

When one discuss usually is because it is still in search of info or something , I've had a Wadia from a time and my posting on audio and related has diminuished enormously ..
sorry if my opinion seem to be too flat or stupid , it is just what I feel

I think allowances have to be made for international 'Goners who have English as their second or third language. But I agree, that's a tough one.

It seems clear to me: Boodidheadfi feels if, like him, you own a Wadia, there's really nothing to discuss. And ever since he's owned his Wadia, he's spent much less time on audio forums. So?
