Tube CD-player question

What is a great sounding tube CD-player out there ?

Is there a SS CD-player with a smooth tube sound?

Thanks
Russ

I used tubes other then what they came with & it made the sound perfect. Also used Acoustic Research cables which are cheap at Best Buy but produced the best sound as they are Neutral.
