I second what Mike said above, especially about the upper mid glare that is missing from the MPS5. It works nicely with a Wolff Bohica 2 power cable and Stealth Indra ICs.

Hi Mike, has your MPS-5 completed break-in? How many hours of playing time did it take to stabilize 100%? Thanks, Guido

I'd add Accuphase DP700 or the 800/801 combo from accuphase in that list

I have a Burmester 069. I also have an Accuphase DP-700, but this is used for SACD only because the Burmester player is so much better for redbook. It is of course very expensive ($50k), but then without doubt the best redbook playback I have ever heard. It is very musical, resolved and has a three dimensionality and completely black background that I haven't experienced from any other player. I rank this player far above those rigs that are listed in this thread so far.
