>>So I have a MF Trivista and my friend had the Cary you speak of. Although the Cary had more playback mode options w/sample rate options not on the MF we both found the Rebook better on the MF and by a good bit. We even swapped power cords and other things to make sure.<<

Cary higher sampling rate options could certainly make these players sound smoother, perhaps that's advantageous considering the massive library of existing crappy mastered CDs, but when fed top sounding software, they still produced an overly soft and somewhat hazzy/foggy type sound, more & more obvious at the freq. extremes.

>>My point in posting is that there are good things out there now and they are more affordable than when these two $6,000 + players came out some ten plus years ago.<<

Well, that's not really meaningful, considering many more affordable, but superior sounding alternatives existed even in 2006, plus well prior. Hell, tho the 306 was good, it was bettered by Cary's own dedicated CDPs at less cost. The MF trivista/nuvista's (I actually considered purchasing a nuvista) were the ONLY MF players I'd heard that I actually liked; in general, I've never found MF CD players $onically competitive.

I can think of MANY players, over the last 15 years, that proved superior. IMO, neither of these two players were "benchmark" type performers, then, pre and post, at the $6k price point.
