Tube CD-player question


What is a great sounding tube CD-player out there ?

Is there a SS CD-player with a smooth tube sound?

Thanks

My Anthem CD1 (6 disc tube player) blew the doors off my $1000 Audio Refinement (cheap-o line YBA). Don't forget Sonic Frontiers SFCD1 or the Sonic Frontiers tube DACs. They are even better then my Anthem.

For solid state you might look into the YBA players with the extra blue laser.

Audio Aero Capitol/Prima Cd players at their price points are superb; also their Prima Dac. Their distributor, Globe Audio does a great job of support.
Itsalldark and Dehanm, the Einstein Last Record Player is to be replaced.

Russb, I would strongly recommend the Exemplar/Denon 3910, especially with the post-dac filter parts swapout.
The EAR Acute has received some outstanding reviews but I have not heard one. Still, something to investigate. Tube output stage with analogue volume control.
The Jolida is a good player. The CJ DV-2B is a great player and I am still hoping that CJ will re-release this or replace this fine component.
