Ever Hear a Tube CD player?

I have seen some amazing reviews of some Tube CD players and a few not so good.  I am considering bringing in Canor Audio's CD players which have a tube output stage.  

If you can find any used Raysonic CD Player jump on it. I have yet to hear a tube CD Player under $5K that is as wonderful as my Raysonic CD128. 

I had a Luxman, which sounded ... ok, I guess.  It cost 2-3x what any other CD players I've had  and eventually devoted transport problems.   It's only real virtues were two:  (1)  it looked REALLY cool, (2) it finally got me to buy tube amps, which (for my system and my ears and my music) finally did the trick.   

I ran across a used Exemplar audio Denon 2900 tube CD player for $400 or $500 10 or so years ago it was so cheap I snatched it up knowing it retailed for over $4000. When it arrived I was shocked how enjoyable it was to listen to. It came with Mullards, Amprex SQ's, Brinmar's and others I can't remember. It really didn't matter which tubes were used they all sounded good but I ended up leaving SQ's in full time. For a good while my lp12 collected dust. The lazer went out and I bought one of eBay and it is still up and running. I did end up buying a used Exemplar Oppo 105 tube player in case denon died and run each in different rooms. The trick is the tubes must be matched or you can hear balance problems if tubes are way off. 

I love the Denon APL , Tube CD player, but I prefer My Modwright Sony 9000es sacd player retired long time ago.
