In Reply to: Please list your choice of a "warm" sounding CD player posted by athanos on February 27, 2007 at 18:09:34:
This is a cd player with a tube output stage. I have exclusively cd's in my collection. This cd player makes all of them sound wonderful. I also bought the BAT vk300se integrated amplifier( a hybrid) I expected the highs and mids to be better but was suprised to find the bass was improved in a big way. Example: on eric claptons song "lay down sally", the bass using my solid state rig was thumpy and very irritating. I often thought,"did the recording engineers not listen to this before they released it". With the BAT rig the bass is controled and real. Bass is now the strings being plucked to the decay of the note. Voices are amazing and the highs are smooth. There are actually words that are being resolved that were burps on the ss rig. Example: The beatles "revolution" and INXS "the devil in side". Good luck
Follow Ups:
I though that the BAT was boring and lifeless in the sytem I heard it in (SET with Lowthers). Might be just the ticket for a system that tends to be bright.I recommend an Altmann DAC.
Perhaps it was the lack of bass in the Lowthers which gave you a "lifeless" impression, or the BAT's tubes were past their prime...anything but lifeless in my rig.

Big, warm sound with primo bass extension. Very non-fatiguing.
