High End CD Player - Options ????

SHANTI · #1 11-08-06, 03:09 PM

I need to buy a CD Player.

I want to spend Rs. 100/- K

Used - 2nd Hand is OK.

Should be between 1 & 2 years old.

Options to consider.

I would be ready to pay 50 % of the US Retail Price for it [old * used]

Thanks.

WHY BUY ONLY A CD PLAYER WHEN SO MANY LOW PRICED SACD'S ARE AVAILABLE IN MUMBAI. I SUGGEST YOU AUDITION THE DENON SERIES UNIVERSAL DISC PLAYERS (ALL EISA AWARD WINNERS) OR THE ONKYO'S AVAILABLE IN MUMBAI. SACD IS THE FUTURE AND IS CERTAINLY NOT DYING. I PREFER IT IN THE SACD STEREO FORMAT RATHER THAN 5.I FORMAT. THE EFFECT IS ELECTRIFYING--EVEN SOME OLD RECORDINGS ARE BEING REISSUED AT SACD LEVEL-CHECK OUT RHYTHM HOUSE

Sorry Man, I dont have an idea if someone is selling it...I just recommended it because I know someone who bought it for 120k new.

BTW I forgot to tell you that you can check out Arcam. There was one for sale if I remember well. If you are interested I may try and find. It was priced at 58k.

120 for a Wadia seems like a steal, that too one that is Brand New !!

I did not know that Sushil had one for sale at such a cheap price, I will call him and find out. Do you know the model # ? 302 ?
Please do try and get me details. Thanks.

I do not like Arcam, so I will pass that. Sorry !

Yes it was a 302 (with volume control).

Hello Dr. !!

Do you have any idea of where that Wadia 302 was purchased from ?
In India or from abroad ? Please.

Thanks,

SHANTI

Call them to check out the price. If its really what you want then take a trip there (air prices being cheap nowadays). Maybe worth your while. I truly believe that one can get some of the best deals for Hi-Fi at The Adelphi and Sim Lim.
