the best CD player between 6'000 - 10'000 $ ?


I need to replace my old Denon DCD 2700
I hear mainly classical music (don't need a huge bass ;-) )
I am looking for precision, precise stageimaging, high definition & warmth ... ;-)

thanks

An audiophile pas de deux!

Time to pop some popcorn and settle in for the dance.
Admirable qualities in a dealer, Cerrot: tough to find, and worthy of loyalty when found.
While I agree a component's circuit design affects its sound more than the tube type, I also know designs based on the 6H30 tube that I have heard all sound essentially alike, which is clean, clear and lacking coloration. IMO, it's very difficult to tweak the sound of 6H30 gear by tube rolling.

On the other hand, it's quite easy to tweak the sound of a component that utilizes 6922 tubes.
