need new cd player-budget is tight this winter

hi all
check it out! the budget is killing me right now and i realy want a better cd player.
the rig right now is

arcam alpha 7 cd//audioquest cable
linn pretek preamp//nordost blue heaven cable
linn powertek amp//linn lk400 biwire cable
pair linn tukans

i listen to acoustic to pink floyd ,hendrix and new metal, techno

i liked the alpha 7 but its time to upgrade and i cant afford the linn genki i wanted this year so alls can do is go about $450 for a used cd player for this winter CAN anyone help/RECOMEND a player that would be a GOOD UPGRADE from the arcam for $450 used-cymbals on the alpha7 get splashy and music gets muddled when complex i want more air round the instruments/seperation/foward guitars and bass strings
thanx j
