Bluenote Stibbert vs. Electrocompaniet 1-UP

Hi all,

I'm looking to make some changes in my system and I need some help. My system consists of:

Electrocompaniet 1-UP CD player, its had all the latest modifications
Arcam DV27 DVD player
Classe ssp300 Preamp
Cary Cinema 5 Amp
Talon Audio Raven and Khites
BPT Signature powerconditioner
A mix of Virtual dynamics Master and David cables.

My system sound great, better than any system I've heard in a dealer shop. However, it seems a bit warm, lush and there may be a bit of bloat in the lower octaves. I've repositioned my speakers several times trying to get the lower octaves to be sharper and tighter.

I think the issue may be with the cd player. Can anyone compare my Electrocompaniet to the non-tubed version of the newest Stibbert? Or are there other recommendations?

Thanks,

Sherpa
