WADIA

Who doesn’t want a Wadia? I’m no expert but I have paid attention when one was being used at audio shows I’ve attended. I was told once that the line included a 3,5 and 7 series, at that time, so the 3 series was probably the least expensive. Again, I would be happy to have any one of them. What holds me back? Simply the age of these units. None are cheap, even today, and getting one fixed might be costly. I would say the size of your wallet and the proximity of a reliable tech should be considerations.

Congratulations! I’m hoping it works perfectly for many years. I may pull the trigger on one someday. With my luck, it would work for a month and the transport or laser would need replacement. It’s not the money, it’s trying to find a competent tech who can repair it.
