marantz sa-8260...pretty darn good cd player ( close to sacd)nad can be had for $750/$800 new.

I'd forego getting a new one in that price range and get a high quality used one, such as a Cal Alpha/Delta (there are others). I've been using one daily for the past 8-9 years w/zero problems - it may not be as resolved in the highs and lows as my BAT but its very "musical", warm and a bit forward in soundstaging. Excellent on vocals, jazz, etc. Some one just put one up for sale for $750 in the 'Gon (not me!).

also marantz sa14 used. or maybe a $500 player with $1k in mods??
