If you had to pick areas where you wish the UFO were 'at the next step up'...where would those areas be? Have you heard something you thought was amazingly better...regardless of price for the moment? That might help.

That is good news! If i were to start looking for detail but knowing something about the sound characteristics of Nixon...in the $1000 used price range, i would start with the Cary players and the Oppo Blu-Ray 95. The level of detail from the Oppo is really, really remarkable and it is quite a natural sounding player imho. Quite detailed/defined in a good way. Plus you can play any format you want. The Cary's have a good reputation...you can see them at just above $1000...so maybe with a little haggle you can get it to just $1000. Good luck and hope that is somewhat helpful. You do have quite a good piece...enjoy.
