Tube CD-player question


What is a great sounding tube CD-player out there ?

Is there a SS CD-player with a smooth tube sound?

Thanks

Raysonic CD 128. Fantastic sounding player, replaced a Sony XA777ES for Redbook CD playback in my system and sounds MUCH better. It uses four 6922 tubes, is built like a battleship, and I couldn't be happier with it. Absolutely gorgeous to boot. Two friends own the same unit and swear by theirs too. The 6moons site has a rave review. Check it out. Good luck, Dave
I third Audio Aero. After having 12 cd players come through my system, the Audio Aero Prima mk2 is highest in value and performance for me. It just seems to get everything right.

My Anthem CD1 (6 disc tube player) blew the doors off my $1000 Audio Refinement (cheap-o line YBA). Don't forget Sonic Frontiers SFCD1 or the Sonic Frontiers tube DACs. They are even better then my Anthem.

For solid state you might look into the YBA players with the extra blue laser.

Audio Aero Capitol/Prima Cd players at their price points are superb; also their Prima Dac. Their distributor, Globe Audio does a great job of support.
