What CD player will warm my Thiel/Classe systm?

Get the Jolida tubed player, I can't remember the model number but I'm sure someone will chime in. It's $1K new and even less used and is probably exactly what you're looking for, so good luck!

You might try a used tube player or Meridian s/s if the presentation is too hot. But it sounds like what you want is a sub, not a new cd player. That would warm up the mids with better extension too.

naim audio cd3.5 or cd5 used great prat can be found under a grand.

Try some tubes in the line up. The California Audio Lab Sigma I or II DAC are great buys with their single 12AX7 tube output. Or, go to a tube preamp and use the integrated as a separate amp. "Warmer" interconnects like Cardas Golden Cross Reference between the CD and the amp will alter the character of your sound as well.

A "wamer" CD goal could be a cry for a less harsh sounding DAC which is what the Sigmas provide. The cables are another nice tweak but by themselves may not be enough "warmth" you crave.

Try listening to some tubes and evaluate if they head you towards what you seek. I heard and slowly moved all the way to tubes - preamp, monoblocks, DAC, phono-stage...the tube "warmth" was seductive!

Good luck.
