I have a Muse 9 sign and if you dont choose latest version it is a true bargain on the used market. I have tested my Muse (gen 3) against Wadia 860x in my system and my Muse was at least as good as Wadia. Wadia has little more resolution and Muse a litle more realaxed and warmer sound. And you get any exellent DVD as a bonus with Muse!
Recommendations for used cd player
Anyone have any recommendations for a used cd player? Ideally I would buy a wadia 850 or 860 and get a gns refernce upgrade, but that will run me about $4200, which to me is a lot of cash. I have been looking at the rotel 991AE or the EAD ultradisk 2000 - or possibly a muse. I would like to try to keep it in the $1000 or under range, yet still get some great sound. The rest of my system is a batvk5i preamp, levinson 331 amp, innersound eros loudspeakers, luxman pd300 belt drive turntable with grace 747 tonearm and dynavector karat (original) coil cartridge) and lehman black cube phone prestage. I would appreciate any suggestions you guys have. I search audiogon pretty regularly. I'm presently using an ancient sony es player that has just got to go.
Thanks - Scott
