Suggestions on CDP


Hi All,

I was wondering if you could give me some suggestions. I have been upgrading my main system so far it consists of:

Compact Disk Player: Arcam 7se
Preamp Rouge 99
Amp Odyssey Stratos
Interconnects: Nordost Blue Heaven
Speaker Wires MIT T2
Speakers: Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk.II

I am interested in upgrading my CDP. Of course I plan to audition the other Arcam players (Arcam 9, FMJ CD23), but I was wondering if there were other brands I should try (i.e. naim 3.5 or others). My budget is about $1500-2000. I might go used. The reason I ask is because the arcam dealer is local but I would have a long trip to audition other brands.

I listen to mostly jazz, but some rock and pop as well. Any recommendations?

There are some great deals around on used Wadia gear. I recently picked up a used WT-2000 extensively tweaked. For the price of new stock unit...I got one that is sonically FAR superior.
