Ever Hear a Tube CD player?

I have an Ah! Njoe Tjoeb, but the drawer of the transport started wearing out after 10+ years of heavy use. Gave up fighting with it years ago, but was never really satisfied with its replacement. I’ve recently been thinking about dusting it off to see how it compares to my current streaming setup which certainly seems better than I remember.  
(Because you know I just couldn’t bring myself to get rid of it. Anyone have any experience replacing a transport?)

I have an oppo modwright 105 player (the one rgs92 is talking above) and am quite happy with it. TAS has review.

@aewarren yeah, the CD9 is a decent little space heater for sure. That big tube for the power source cranks. Why is yours Redbook only? Special model?

Once upon a time I had all tube systems, and in the early days of CD, tube dacs were a big help, but times change. For well over a decade my system has been 100% solid state


I had a Raysonic 168 which was excellent, BUT, moved up the 228, a 2 box which started glitching after maybe a year. I sent it back to the USD Quest4Sound right at the time that Raysonic was pulling the plug on the company, apparently leaving a lot of unpaid employees. Q4S and I got the runaround.


TMK, no one has manuals or parts to repair them, but they were magical

Line Magnetic has 2 tube based cd players --
