Meridian 588 CD Player
Try Stereo Exchange in NY. They sell a lot of Meridian and have a large service dept. Its likely that they may have one. 
Better when it rains?
Your system may sound better to you because of the added background noise the rain provides. For myself, I can't listen in a completely silent room. It just doesn't "feel" right. I usually have a small fan going on a very low setting. Just that li... 
No binding post a good idea?
"My initial test was very positive. I'd like know your opinion before I invest money on this project. I appreciate your help in advance!"I don't see how any of us can give you an opinion on something we haven't heard. Why not give some of samples ... 
Good source for CD storage boxes
Check out some music stores like Sam Ash and Guitar Centre. DJ's need really tough storage cases for their CD's and LP's.

Listening volume
I find that when you get a system sounding right, you're less likely to listen at higher volumes. Volume can be used to in an attempt to compensate for a system's weak spots.

Should I trust movers with my equipment?
Rgs92, I think you just did what most people thought was impossible; myself included. You asked a question on Audiogon that everyone is going to agree on what the answer is.

Vandersteen 5A or Sonus Faber Stradivari Homage
"Calling Johhnny R, god why bother with all of this? Johnny's a real nice guy but he's got better things to do with his time then help you with all this."Why not let Johnny R decide what he wants to do with his time? 
Using small stereo speakers

So what would you recommend for my next upgrade?
If you are happy with your Thiels then I would get a new phono preamp and/or a speed control for your Rega 3. 
Ortofon 2M Black or Dynavector 20x2
I have a DV20 low output on a VPI Scout and really like it. Would definitely buy it again.
