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

I would also mention the Electrocompaniet EMC-1UP for you to take a listen to.

I have also heard great rumblings about the Wadia 861, but have no personal experience with it.

Try to audition the Audio Aero Capitole Mark II. It has an analog (tube) volumn control and the latest version also has an analog passthru so that you can dispense with the pre altogether, unless you still likevinyl.

If you do a search hereabouts on audio aero you will find lots of praise for this CD player. I own one and I am very happy with it.
