Tube CD Players other than Jolida

i was going to suggest a little budget-stretching too, after seeing a tubed Raysonic CD 128 go for $1,200 here on Audiogon. Great machine.

Thanks guys for your imput.

The one thing about the Jolida that keeps calling me is the fact that I can taylor the sound with different tubes.

The others are a bit higher priced than I can afford, $1000 is the max, unfortunitly.

I did notice the Consonance CD-120 LInear seems to be going for a decent price. Any thoughts on that player compared to the Consonance reference or Jolida or my Rotel? Can you change tubes in the CD-120 Linear?

I'm really looking for a bit more sparkle in the top end compared to my Rotel 1072.

Thanks Again!

I suggest a look at any used Exemplar 2900's that pop up.

I've owned many players, but that unit is magic for a very reasonable price!

eastern electric minimax.

I've owned an Eastern Electric Minimax for about 18 months. Tube rolling in this machine is a breeze, if that's what you're looking for. Put some NOS 60's vintage Mullards in mine and have been very, very pleased with the sound.
