For what it's worth, I made decisions on my personal "long haul" question a few years ago, which I feel are still valid. I felt as I grew into my equipment over time, it originally had to be better than I could appreciate then and/or it could grow along with me through upgrades as demands require. For my redbook system it is 47 Labs and for other av digital it's Muse. Good luck.
Redbook for the long haul
At this point, I'm not interested in SACD (until the format wars settle down), and I'm not necessarily interested in getting a DVD player to use as a redbook transport. So, if I want to stick with redbook CD, what players or transports are worth buying for the long haul? What high-quality units will have service support and parts availability for the next few years?
