CD player for my system?

I'm normally an "analog" type of guy...I love my LP's! Any suggestions for a CDP in the range of $800-1200 for my system that might not offend these old analog ears? I must admit, I'm not much into "tweaks" or "mods." Looking to find a unit that sounds good out of the box.

Tube Audio Design TAD-150 preamp
Rogue Audio Stereo 90 amp
Reimer McCullough GS speakers

thanks for any suggestions!

The original Rega Planet or newer Rega Planet 2000 (I forget the price of this one; it might be out of your price range). Both offer supreme musicality and PRAT. Neither is the last word in resolution or dynamics, but for sheer enjoyability and ease on the ears, they're hard to beat in this price range.

Do a search hereabouts on Audio Aero. Read about the Prima.

AH! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 with 192kHz upsampling and Amperex 7308 or Ediswan CV2492 tube upgrade.

One more vote for the Jolida--with a pair of Mullard CV4004 tubes, and an upgraded power cord.
