Tubed CD Player

Audio Note 2.1 cd player is a wonderfully musical one box player. I heard this piece today in a system I am very familiar with. Great staging smooth and extended highs bass that was deep taut and tuneful, never slow or blurred. This player took another leap forward when placed upon a Sistrum platform and powercord replaced by the broadband Sonoran Signature. $1600 American dollars may buy this great value player. Maybe a steal!

Another vote for the Audio Capitole Mark II. Buy it used on A'gon. If you don't like it, sell it at no loss.

You won't sell it. You will be saying:

"Another vote for the Audio Aero..."

An inexpensive tubed cd player that comes up used every now and then for $500 or so is the Heart CD-6000. It's a modified Marantz player. If you upgrade the tubes (NOS Seimens 6922 is what is usually recommended) these sound very very good IMO. I now use a Modwrighted Pioneer universal player with the tube output and it is excellent as well. I don't use my Heart player since I got this one but haven't been able to bring myself to sell it yet because I think it sounds better than the money I could get for it.

I email Upscale where I bought my AH, Kevin Deal was
very helpful, He assured me that my AH will be
