Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW

Hi,

i have a Wadia 860 and was considering upgrading to the Wadia 861.

But i could also sell the 860 and buy either the Meridian 588, BAT Vk-D5 SE, the Audio Aero Capitole CDP or the BOW Wizard.

I was wondering if anyone could comment on the above players, and say which ones they would prefer and why.

Cheers
Xav

Badwisdom,
A dear audiophile friend of mine recently ordered his Capitole 24/192 unit directly fromthe factory and as we live in India, the fac export price that was quoted was $2800. I know this may sound crazy but it is a fact that I can share. Makes me want to place an order for one very soon!

$2800 sounds incredibly cheap !!

I just paid $4000 for mine and i live in the country its built in..... i think you should check with your friend, i highly doubt that is the correct quoted price.

Arupg,

For $2,800 I'm ready to order right now! Any more info you or your friend can share on this factory-direct deal?

Thanks.

Yes - I just checked my friend's papers & its indeed $2800. It could be a special promotional offer to an under-developed country like India where I come from. Whatever it is, at this price, its a super deal!

Arup, this may be the *export* price, i.e., a dealer's buying price -- not a dealer's expected retail price... whatever the reason, it's unbeatable!

Cheers!
