Various Wadia players.. can someone order them

He could be right, or at least close to it. Wadia does/did have a habit of upgrades keeping things relatively close. Calling a 3rd party like Great Northern Sound or Wadia might give you the correct answer.

check their site - they had info on the -i upgrades last time I looked. Agreed the 16 is a nice one-box player, perhaps one of the best one box players around. The 7/9 combo is also very nice but a bit more $ than the others mentioned.

One note of caution, when I was looking for a used wadia I talked to the factory and was advised that the transport in the 6 is obsolete and cannot be replaced if it ever breaks. Of course, that's pretty unlikely, but it's something to think about. The guy I talked to also seemed to think that of these choices, the best bang for the buck was the 830. (Although the 850 is better if you can afford it). I don't know about the 6i, as stated above, probably best to call Steve Huntley.
