Best Redbood CD Player Used/New under $7K


Any thoughts or experiences. My short list includes Wadia 860/861/21, Sony SCD-1 w/R Kern Full Mods, Metronome Reference Stack, Shanling T-200 Level 1 Plus,

Others I should consider?

I currently use JRDG Model 12's and Coherence II, Magnepan 20R's

Listen to jazz, vocals mostly. Thanks

Another vote here for the Audiomeca Mephisto II.X. I've never heard anything quite the like of this player. It's also the sharpest looking CD unit I've owned. To be honest I did feel that in a shoot out with my Mephisto, the APL mod'ed SACD1000 did better it some in many areas, however, as a transport the Mephisto has no peer in the under $7K range, which would set you up for better DACs as they are developed.
