try Theta data 3 or Wadia 20 or stretch budget for Levinson 37 or look for the proceed cdd which is supposedly the Levinson 37 in a proceed box but much cheaper like $800 used is probably the best for the money but difficult to locate.

ever heard the VTL 450 signatures? I've owned the premier 8 and the 450 never at the same time but I believe the 450 is the better sounding of the two especially if the 450 is the infini capacitor version it has better bass control also.
