My Arcam FMJ CD23T run thru my Music Reference RM5 MKIII tube pre to my Music Reference RM9 tube amp to my Spendor S100's absolutely works for me! Although I must admit for true 'Analog' sound my Linn/Lingo/LP12/Ittok MkIV/Ortofon Kontrapunkt B rig thoroughly spanks my CD player!;) But since you asked about CDP's the Arcam is magnificent, especially at the prices found here on A'gon!
