Asked with respect to you Monstachuck, what is it in the sonics of the Naim CDP's that you want to purchase that tickles your ear's in your system? I found Naim's CDP's to offer very one-dimensional soundstaging, not very natural timbres,and finally a somewhat harsh sound signature. I audtioned even their top of the line model for 13 grand and found even that player very unpleasant. In your price bracket either new or used there are many other much more musical CDP's. So, please I'm not trying to be negative but just curious because my experience with Naim has been so different then yours.
