Wadia ?


MY Wadia 16 was being repaired by Wadia. I was told yesterday that it cannot be fixed. My dealer is offering to sell me a new 581 which can play SACD at a very 'reasonable' price. My dealing with Wadia for the past 3 months have not been positive.
I need your help. Is it worth investing in another Wadia product? Is Wadia financially stable? Has anyone heard or know of the sound quality of the new palyer?
Any response would be appreciated.

historically, they always disappoint given their products retail prices. having made a business decision at some point to stay within the confines of digital front ends, was a huge mistake. they also can be blamed for the demise of hales loudspeakers(they purchased at one point). one of the classic all time loudspeakers seemed to disappear overnight. the worst marketing ever. it took more than a decade just to get their dealers to pronounce their name correctly....this would have been a sign for most savy companies
