Has anybody heard the new RAYSONIC CD 138?
Good point..........Just curious if anyone has heard one.I believe they changed transport companies.Just surprised because I do believe the original 128 ispretty darn reliable. 
What good cd players are there for under $1000
If you can find a Raysonic 128 or JAS Musik they are verytough to beat in my opinion.Much better detail and tube magic and sound betterthan so many players that I have had that cost alot more.Will kill most of the big name players in this range.

Break in for a NEW 5 year old player
I understand what you are saying about keeping it in the box.I bought it to listen to it...........especially on the cd side. The technology is not obsolete on this player on the cd side. Yes, if I decide to sell it I will never get what it is wor... 
Redbook CDP under $1,000 used
Find a used Raysonic CD-128 or get a new OPPO Special Edition Blue Ray player. Nothing comes close at less than $1000. In fact you have to spend much more to beat both.I have used quite a few.

McIntosh and Brystons: Fair comparison ?

MAC Autoformers?
I think the 6300 is a sleeper......It does use THERMAL TRAKwhich keeps it running cool all day.....it does not have BASS/TREBLE controls but the pre-amp section is great.It uses LED's instead of bulbs.......I thought the 6500was quote unquote "lou...

MAC Autoformers?

Excuse me...........SALK SONG TOWERS......my fingers are moving faster than my brain. 
how to side-grade from B&W 805's?
I take these are the 805's and not the newer ones.I actually like the 705's for bass more than the ORIGINAL 805's.I owned both of these. With your amp......MAC 7100 I believe, I would look at a pair of SALK SOUNG TOWERS.Really silly money for this...
