I've never used much, tested a few players. I currently use a fully modified Museatex Bitstream with bg cap upgrades and a Museatex modified CD-D which was actually used as Mr. Wrights transport. He said he threw everything he could think of with the exception of black gate caps. I use a Moray James digital interconnect. I'm happy. Sounds more natural then anything i've heard at the $3k mark. I'd be lying if I said I've tried everything though.
