Listening to the XRAY on Mr.Peabodys system revealed to me that I really need to get new speakers...some floor standers and perhaps a better warmer amp. Mr. Peabodys system is just awesome. But I already have the CDP at a discounted price. So I can build from there. You can get the XRAY at audioadvisor and keep it for thirty days before you send it back if you dont like it. But its really a great bargan at $799.

thinks for the info and well certainly take it as good advise from people who have actually heard the difference. And yes when I do upgrade components I do want to be happy with them for years and not have to upgrade do to the fact that I did not spend a little bit more for a better component. I do have other areas of my system that I think need attention first before buying a high end cdp. I am looking at better main speakers,getting a dedicated 2 channel preamp with theater bypass so I can get the full benifit from seperates. Then I can start looking at source components for improvment. If you do not agree with my plan of action feel free to tell me as I am very open for options
