The ES-series from Sony, except for their tuners maybe, are excellent value. Well built, good looking and great performance IMHO. I owned a CDP-X559ES, which was built like a tank and sounded great, considering the age. It also played every disc I threw at it with confidence. So it doesn't really suprises me you like your Sony.....
Sony 808ES Integrated
I just picked up a Sony 808ES Integrated and after listening to it I am amazed at the sound that comes out of it. I sold a great integrated the Unico Unison which I loved but really needed more power for some PSB Goldi's I ended up with. I looked at the MAC 6900 and the new NAD integrated but WOW this is as good or better IMHO. I know it's hard to compare given the conditions are different.
With that said I was just curious if anyone else had experience with this integrated. It seems like a real sleeper...I love finding gear that exceeds your expectations and sets the bar for value.
