Okay so you got a tube CD Player to go with the Rogue tube gear. Your defintely into the tube arena.
However the Classe CD Players and the Arcam CD Players are clearly a cut above other products in their price range.
All CD Players tube or SS are system dependent, just like analog gear. Overall sonic signature is dependent on amp,preamp,speakers,cables, etc. Synergy has the last word on all systems.
But keep in mind that CD Players take a long time to burn in. In the case of the Classe it is at least 200 plus hours and the Arcam will take 100 or more so hours. If you change anything in your system, before the required burn in time, then most likely you will not be able to make a qualified judgement on the CD Player.
But above all else, enjoy the music, that is what this hobby is all about. Much more than the gear.
