There you have it! 1000 answers are 1000 new questions. I am perfectly happy with my 850 24/96 machine. The only upgrade I really fancy is the 270/27ix. My humble opinion is: forget everything else than a WADIA - I heard so many but those guys know/knew? about the best digital source! Cheers
Which Wadia a better buy in value terms?
I hv been offered two mint condition CDPs - a Wadia 850 (first owner, about 2 years) for $2,300 and a Wadia 860 (more than 2 years, probably 2nd owner) for $3,700. I can't decide which to go for...while I don't mind paying slightly more for the 860 so that I enjoy "upgrad-a-bility" to a 861 later, I wonder if I should just settle for the 850 and forget about the hype! Could you share with me the REAL sonic difference between the two i.e. 850 & 860 and is the premium worth it? Much thanks.
