Which Of The Following CD Players Are The Warmest?

Would very much like to know which of the following single box CD Players you have found from your listening experience to have the most warmth, but yet maintain strong clarity and imaging:

1) Audiomeca Keops
2) Cary 303
3) Resolution Audio CD55
4) Theta Miles
5) Wadia 830
6) YBA CD3

*Your feedback is appreciated. I need to limit the choices to those CD Players which I can purchase used and for under $1,800.

Thank you.

You can use a "Cat Test"
Place a cat on any of the players (while they're on) that you want to try and if the cat will sleep on it than it's the worm one.:)
I saw it myself in the dealer's demo room with newest Jolida player meaning that I assume that tubes are wormer.

Im searching also. I would think you could add the Rega Jupiter to the list. Although I have never heard one the reviews seem to give this impression.

For less than 1k new take a look at the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000. It's a highly massaged Marantz (now has some tubes) from some fellows in the Netherlands and has been well reviewed.
