Availability of Wadia

I called my local dealer a couple of weeks ago concerning the availability of Wadia 861. Thay said they had no idea when they'll get the unit. I emailed Wadia afterwards, it took Wadia over two weeks to reply to me, referring me back to my dealer !
Does anyone know what's going on with Wadia products these days ? Instead of spending $8000 on a 861 I am now inclining to buy a cheaper SACD machine like the Sony SCD-777ES instead. Can anyone advise please. Thanks.

The San Francsico Retailer reports "The 301 is the 831 CD player with a new name. This is a great product and is
pictured on the wadia website(www.wadia.com). It will have the new swift current technology and the latest wadia software. We have heard a prototype both at the CES 2001 and at our store. It is a great sounding unit. We're
looking forward to this product".

SACD is a smokescreen, it will NEVER take off... go with the Wadia 861

Thanks for the info. Good to learn that the company is alive. I emailed Wadia a few days ago but have no reply yet. Their slow response just makes me a bit concerned. I think I'm going to put a hold on my planned purchase for a while. Thanks again.
