Single box unit to pair w/ Plinius , Totem?

After a long hiatus from my cd player search, I am now
looking again, with several players under consideration.
They would be paired with an 8200 Plinius, Totem Forests, and AZ cables. Unfortunately, there are no dealers close by for any of these, so I haven't had the benefit of a good listen:

Ayre cx-7
Wadia 301/302
Meridian 588
BAT
Classe CDP 10
Jolida
Resolution Audio

I'm trying to decide between solid state vs tubed. Also,
a couple of the units (R.A. & Wadia) have a volume control, which I'm not certain I'd use. Any idea what that adds to a unit's cost? Thanks, Craig

It does not appear that too many people have an opinion regarding a good match up between Plinius and Totem. I just posted a similar question and then noticed your post. Since you posted a while ago I'm wondering what you may have decided or found out in the mean time. I'm looking for a CDP match-up to go with my 9100 and Model Ones. thanks, Mark

Thanks for the tips. Are you running your modded Sony through a Plinius and Totems as well? Coincidentally I have both the 9000es and the 999es and I’ve already given some serious thought to Modwright modifications for one or the other. Before I go that route however I wanted to check out some of the stock models that might be available for about the same price. Sounds like maybe you already did. In your opinion, am I wasting my time? Should I just go the Modwright route?

Since your post yesterday I've been reading a lot of the old posts about Modwright. Seems kind of like a no brainer. I have been wondering which player to do so thanks for your tip on the 9000 vs. the 999. Still wondering about Golfrok's experiences though. Golfrok, are you still out there?

PS. my name is Mark, but I've been called worse.

Thanks again.
