Best Used CD Player 1500-3000

I'd throw in the Muse 9 Signature as a suggestion. Fabulous even if you use it just as a CD player (it does DVD as well). -Kirk

cary 303/100 for less than $1500 would be my vote.

Please suggest one that can play CD-R as well.

Electrocompaniet simply sounds more analogue than the others in the group, IMHO.

Wadia 850...it will be hard to find a Wadia 860 for $3,000 or less. Have owned both units and the 850 is an awesome all around cdp plus you can directly connect the Wadia to an amplifier and leverage the digital volume control. Check other AudiogoN threads on the issue...there are many opinions on this configuration. Good luck...
