Thank You
Blcube - I bought an EAR Acute CD player, having heard that it was very analog-like. I was looking for something that might present certain classical CDs in a more positive light...with less "digititis". It did a very nice job of presenting CDs with less of the CD "edge" that can be very annoying. It has detail and air, but is not what I would call "forward" in presentation. You can also nudge the sound in different directions by tube-rolling.

I would say that, in its price range, the EAR Acute is well-worth considering as a very musical player.
CJ DV2B, one of the best Cd players I've heard at any price. Satisfying natural sound. The challenge is finding one used as they don't last long on the market.
Primaluna eight vacuum tube cd player. Heard at upscale audio. Great sound and like all Primaluna gear tons of flexibility, tune in the sound you desire with different tubes and op amp upgrades!
Cary 303 is worth a look. It offers variable O/S (including NOS) and both tube and ss output sections.

Good Luck
