anyone have experience with tube cdps'

I am thinking of switching to a tube cdp because I find most solid state players to sound to digital, even expensive ones. I am trying to audition Raysonic 168, a Grant fidelity, and audio aéro from france, anyone with experience please advise.
FYI the SS players I listened to were Rega, NAD and Cambridge audio. I did not like any of them. Far too digial.

PrimaLuna Prologue 8 with the upgraded board. Tube roll until you find the sound you like. SeeReview in TAS.

i have the aa capitole classic se redbook cd player. it is extremely detailed and very easy to listen to. i'm big into vinyl, but this cd is so easy on the ears that sometimes i don't spin the vinyl. you can't roll the tubes if that's what you're looking to do.

I've had a Raysonic CD 128 for a couple of years and really like it. No "digititis" that I can detect. You can tube-roll to your heart's content. I'm currently using Amperex Bugle Boy 6DJ8s in mine. Good luck, Dave.

I have owned a Grant Fidelity CD427 for about six months.
Even though it is Chinese built, I have had no issues at all
with it. I replaced the stock Chinese tubes and could not be
happier.

The Lector 7T is one fine CD player especially when you roll some Telefunken 12at7s in. I bought one as a backup but it sounds so good that I use it most of the time.
