Hi.The other posters seem surprised that there are valve CD Players. They have been around for some time.The Shenda Audio Vacuum Tube Reference CD Player SD 100. is a very good machine. They are partly made in the U.S by Jolida and completed in China.This keeps the cost down. I purchased a valve preamp from Shenda and it works beautifully.I am not sure of the price, but i will try to find out.
EDIT.....I could not find anything about theShenda Player but the Jolida model JD-100A that another poster mentioned would be very good. It got an excellent review.

By using valves in the output section the sound of CDs are more "analog." This is the only way to go if you want unfatigueing CD sound.

The main components of a CD player are the optical pick unit and the DAC. There is no amplification - where a tube would offer an advantage. You may want to consider a CD player with direct digital out and then add a tube pre-amp/amp.
A better way would be to go all the way analog.
Analog Turntable + Tube amplifier

Why?? Are you going for the Retro look or something? I'm sure you can find a nice CD Player with good D/A converters in it if you are the Audiophile type. If you want that tube warmth, you could always feed the signal through a tube pre-amp processor.. That should put you well under $1000!

That's pretty funny. It would also be quite large. You would have to have it custom built, and I doubt any old electronics experts would be willing to go to the trouble for under $1000.
Unbelievable! Just to see if this was a prank, I did a quick search. The JD-100A is available for only $950, plus shipping.
I'm sure most of it must be standard solid state electronics. I don't know what components might be replaced with vacuum tubes that would be superior to modern circuits. I'll have to do some more research on that.

This has the aroma of Troll written throughout it.... however i will project a serious answer: whether this type of factor is a threat (and that i'm uncertain it fairly is, for the reason that CD gamers use lasers to study the information, and there is adequate recommendations processing occurring interior them to make it exceptionally perplexing to construct one employing Nineteen Fifties technologies), its in basic terms a sprint unlikely that anybody's ever easily tried to realize this. in case you fairly need one for decrease than a grand, i wish you the excellent of luck!!
