Hi David and borg7x9: I too just got a LM 515 CD player (and I also have the LM 518i amp). This CD player is excellent and sounds so great paired with the 518. It doesn't seem to get much "press" but I can tell you it blows my Marantz away. Very rich and full overall and much more bass extension. My VPI Prime is starting to collect a little dust since I hooked it up (I plead temporary insanity). I agree the stock tubes sound very nice and I don't have a major urge to change them out.
But David...why would just changing out a fuse be such an improvement?
