I AM IN THE MARKET FOR A NEW CD PLAYER. I HAVE ROUNDED MY OPTIONS TO THE KRELL 280 OR 300, THE WADIA-830 AND THE SONY SCDX777ES. SAN ANTONIO DOESN'T HAVE ANY SHOPS TO LET ME AUDITION SO I MUST GO THROUGH YOU GUY'S. PLEASE HELP. LET ME KNOW THE BEST WAY TO GO. THANKS
Depends on what your main sources are. If you have a decent CD collection then go for the Wadia. I wouldn't count on SACD as a format delivering whatever music or musicians you want to listen to. It will take years if ever that you get what you want on any other format than CD. Good luck!
I have a Sony SCD-1, and live in San Antonio. You are more than welcome to come listen to it. For comparison, you can also listen to a Resolution Audio Opus 21 my brother has. If you are interested, send me an email.
www.gcaudio.com Galen is Excellent and in San Antonio, I purchased my Gamut CD1R from him and I've done business with him for the past 5 years. If I didn't buy the Gamut I would have bought the Wadia. I have a large Red book Collection. I listened to the Sony 777ES and wasn't impressed on red book.
