Which tube cd player do you like

I do not recommend the Audio Research player. Overpriced for what it delivers.

hi stevecham:

regardless of price, which tube cd player do you prefer instead of the audio research ?

do you consider your favored player, whatever it is more tube-like ?

This thread has been very helpful to me and others.I just want to say THANKS to all members.
Thank You

If someone is interested in inexpensive way to find out what non-upsampling/non-oversampling dac or cdp sounds like, check-out the Paradisea, Scott Nixon dacs or Consonance Ref 2.2 linear tube cdp. (there is also a DIY kit based on nos Philips chip that costs around $50)

Mrtennis, can you comment on the sonic differences between the three CD players you listed? i.e. ARC CD7, Lector 7 and AMR CD77? I gather you must have auditioned all three of them.
My gut feel is that the AMR CD77 is the 'warmest' among the three.
