Used Wadia 16 for $2200, can you do any better?
The Capitole Mk 2 is a very nice player. To say it crushes the Wadia in every way is very misleading. Both players have different qualities and it really depends on what you are looking for. A lot of people switch to different gear and when they f... 
Used Wadia 16 for $2200, can you do any better?
I would go with the Wadia. The 16 was a very good cdp and some feel that it was better than the 860. There is not much in the low 2k price range currently that has the build quality and performance of the 16. Plus you can always send it to Steve H... 
cdp for proac 1 sc

Need suggestions for small room speakers
I second the ProAc 1SC. I too have a small listening room and have experimented with many differnt types of monitors. I found the ProAc's to work the best in my room. 
What speakers with Audio Research VT-100
ProAc 1.5 are very good with the VT series ARC amps. 
Very tube-friendly monitor speakers?
Abal,Have you even listened to the 1SC's? Don't disregard something until you have heard it. Wes Philips loves the ProAc's with his SET Cary's. I have heard the Paradigms and although a good value they are not at all in the same league as the ProA...
