i find the jolida cd player to be more like truth than beauty and the totem speakers to be highly resolving. i have auditioned the analysis plus interconnects and speaker cables. i don't find them warm either.
as for tubes, i would use ge 5814 black plates, rather than mullards and rcas if i wanted a warmer sound. i wouldn't use rca 12ax7 either.
while the rogue may be bright, i think some of your components are unforgiving and adding the rogue does not help.
i owned the jolida cd player and tried many sets of tubes.
it was definitely not a warm player.
