Favorite CD player around $2k or less used


I'm getting itchy finger on Audiogon regarding cd player. I love my Cary 303/200 but am toying with going for something tubey for a while, just for fun (Cary 308T?). So I thought I'd raise this question, again just for fun: what's been your experience recently with cd players that sell used for under $2k? (I like HDCD but not a show-stopper; SACD big plus, perhaps not realistic.).

and would probably have to spend three times that ($2K) amount in order to hear any significant improvent.
...my Exemplar also sits on a Neuance platform, and performs much better that way. :)

As does my Exemplar. The Neuance is a wonderful device, and at ~$200 it's a stunning value.
