Anthem CD-1 tube upgrade?


I recently got an Anthem CD-1 for use in my office, and I love the sound of this thing. Don;'t know whether it's the tubes, but it just sounds sweet. This has the factory tube in it. Is there a simple, drop-in replacement that wo9uld make this player sound even better?

(Sorry, I dnot even know what model the factory tube is, if that tells you anything :). The rest of the system consists of of a Headroom Max amp and Sennheiser HD-600 headphones. I listen to just about every kind of music, from Classical to Techno.

Hi Njonker Glad you like the Anthem gear. I own the Amp 1 and did have the pre2L. If I'm not mistaken the tube should be a 6922 and it should be a sovtek. I replaced my 6922s with nos philips when I had the pre and valvos in my sonicfrontiers dac. I really like the valvos and the philips tubes don't sound bad.(replaced the pre2L with a ARC) You might try Anthems web site to see what tube upgrade they recommend for your player. Keep in mind you may pay a little more for their replacements. Good listening!
