Atma-Sphere MA-1 filter cap upgrade
OK... I've had the MA1s back for a few weeks now, and WOW!!!The biggest difference is in the low end response -- bass and drums sound truly realistic (depth, tone, decay, impact). There is more air around instruments and more natural tone overall.... 
Do Tube Amps go better with QUAD 2805's Speakers??
I also recommend Atma-Sphere OTLs. I drive my 988s with a set of MA1s with the power supply upgrade -- ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS!!!! and don't even use (or miss) a sub.William 
Audio Research Ref: CD8
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I understand the CD7 does not upsample (like 8X, etc) and uses the Crystal 24bit sigma-delta DAC. Does the new CD8 upsample? and is the Burr Brown 24 bit DAC a ladder type or a sigma-delta? Does anyone know what Burr B... 
What happened to Plastic CD Cases?
I fully praise the papersleeve / Mini-LP CD's. I don't understand the problems you are having -- maybe the American versions you are purchasing are some how different than the Japan. I have well around 2500 Japan Mini-LP / papersleeve CDs and find...

I have the BAT VK-D5SE and have always enjoyed it immensely, but, last year I wondered how it might compare with the new latest & greatest (AMR, AR CD7, etc).... I still haven't compared it.But, I did swap out the 6H30 tubes for 6N6P tubes and... 
If hard drive betters optical digital retrieval
Memory Player fits your question exactly -- still seems to be hard to get though.

I understand the AMR CD-77 will be showcased at THE Show in NYNY May. 
Best sub for Quad 988
My Quads are 3' from the rear wall and within inches of the side walls, toed inward about 6 degrees, and raised off the floor about 15" bolt-set (solid) to solid granite bases (garden statue bases - each one about 75lbs before I mounted the Quads)...
