So, my 950/770 should be arriving soon I hope. Now I need to upgrade my source. I've got a Sony SACd/CD that I was fine with until I visited my local retailer. I feel in love with the Linn Ikemi, (OK actually I loved the Goldmund Mimesis even more but its $8k!) but who can afford $3500 for a CD player?

Anyone know anything else with superb sound where I will hear just how big the drums are and how great the room was without giving up food for the rest of the year? What's the outlaw equivalent in CD player manufacturers?

What is your experience buying used? What might I find out there that would make very happy?

Thanks!

p.s. I don't need more than one disk or SACD.
