Best CD player for under $6000 used?


I'm looking for a good front end for my system. Any ideas? I thought about the Wadia 861se. Note: I also plan on updating my amp and speakers. Thanks!

I second Mejames , and think that time based decoders that use alogorithims are the best at detail.I love my GNSC wadia's and have two other friends that have had their's done as well.They also run all Virtual Dynamics Master ansd Revelation cabling too. You can't compare a stock unit to the moded one since it totally destroys it; once Gnsc is done with it. The se is a great platter and I must admit that I suffer from platter envy since my Wadia 8 isn't big enough for it.If you want sheer musicality then think Wadia(moded)Take care Dennis

The BAT VK-D5se is an all-around great choice. It uses the "super tube" 6H30, which offers better extension on both ends and better dynamics. It is a very "natural" sounding player (palpable image, rock solid). And the used price is only half of your budget.
I second Akaddict's comments on the BAT. This is a killer, very "analog-like" machine which was $6K new, should be able to find used for considerably less.
You should also take a look at the Audiomeca Mephisto IIX. They are usually available for between $3K & $4K used.
