CD player closest to vinyl?

If you want the sound of vinyl use a turntable, not a cd player. They are different mediums and basically sound different. Both can be very enjoyable but not the same

I have enjoyed the Lector CDP 0.6t and CDP 7t MkIII. With the right tubes they are very very musical and close to vinyl. YMMV.

Surprised no one has mentioned the Rega players yet. That's exactly why I bought one. I would agree that Naim is very good as well. I have heard interesting things about the tubed models such as PrimaLuna's, but have never had a chance to hear one.

The Resolution Audio CD50 I bought about 8 years ago was good enough to make me sell off my vinyl. It took a couple of years to come to that decision to sell. No regrets.

I recently purchased a factory hot-rodded Theta Compli Blu that is so good it takes my breath away. Taking nothing away from the above mentioned higher priced players, if memory serves me right, my SOTA / Koetsu Rosewood / SME V rig wasn’t even in the same ball park as the Theta.
