Expensive CD players $7000-$15000

130.76.32.19

What are the best (or among the best) of the expensive CD players? ARC CD7, Simaudio Andromeda, Esoteric X03, Marantz 7S1, MBL 1531, Oracle, AMR CD77, emm CDSA, AA Capitole, Cary, Krell, Naim, Linn Klimax DS (OK so its 18K, way too much for me, but there is an upcoming cheap one for 7K), Levinson, Lindemann (no dealer in USA I understand)? Sorry if I left some out. I bring this up because it seems this price range does not get a lot of comments, and I want to hear what people say about them. Yes a lot has been said of the ARC CD7 all positive. How about comments on reliability, tube life, etc for tube players? Andromeda seems dynamic, better defined vocals (like CD7), detail, different balance than Eclipse. General comments?
