best cd player to match Bryston 4bsst square ?

Usblues, i know your right about that and that will be my next step will be a pre from Audio Research.

I did audition a ARC ref-5(I liked it a whole lot)I do use a
BP-26(I like alot)they are both really good,
but totally different in their presentations.
I'll probably keep the 26 and hopefully get a ref-5 come
winter.Nice to swap them out depending on the mood.
I use to think going to bars was pricey,I think audio is more
addictive and pricey.
For sure the ARC pre weighs heavy on my mind,A must have.

totally agree with you Drummer
