Eastern Electric Minimax CD vs Jolida 100

i am a reviewer and have come to the conclusion that it is almost impossible to find a cd player which has a tube analog stage which sounds like it has tubes and is tube sensitive.

i can't recommend any player under $1000 and would have a problem myself finding one to satisfy my taste.

I must respectfully disagree. I have the EE Minimax and LOVE it. So far I have tried the stock tubes, JJ Tesla, and I have Amperex orange globes on the way. The JJs sound completely different in the Minimax than the stock. Much warmer and more analog like without question. Not a bad tube at all for the money. So I have found the Minimax to be sensitive to tube rolling so far.. and am loving the experience.

I also have the minimax.I believe i have the amperex6922 tubes right now instead of the stock.Love this player but to each his own.I had actually decided on it after i compared it to the rotel rcd1072.I havent been able start any kind of tube rolling since its new to me.Havent heard the jolida.
