Good CD Player under $800.00 used

Aron was that a new or used unit? thanks

I have the 8001 and really like it!!!I don't use it for Red Book as I prefer my Musik 1.2 and Astin Trew Tube players,however;it is very close to the best Red book CD sound I have heard.I have not heard the 8003 or 8004,but I prefer the styling and song read-out(in SACD mode)offered by the SA 8001.It is a very reliable,solid and competent player/transport.

Anybody care to chime in on how the marantz 8001 does on Redbook?

Ziggyt,
The 8001 is a very good Redbook CD player.My friend and I have done several listening sessions comparing it to the JAS Musik 1.2,Astin Trew 3500,Musical Fidelity A 3.24 DAC,Citypulse 2.03 DAC,Cambridge Azur Dacmagic Dac and more.It is very difficult to choose between these players and Dacs.They all sound very good.In extended listening sessions,I've found that I prefer the two tubed output CD players.Both are slightly more detailed than the Marantz,and both have a little bit of that magic sparkle and presence.I also slightly prefer the three outboard DACS.The Citypulse and Cambridge are slightly more extended and detailed.The Cambridge also provides more Bass Slam.The MF is more delicate and clean sounding.All of this said,I could very happily live with the 8001 as my only CD player!
