Too many tubes?

Friends, I am putting togther a new system. So far have Halcro MC20 and Atma Sphere MP3. Looking seriously at a pair of Zen Adagios. Is there anything to be gained (or lost) by mating a CD player with tubes (like the BAT, Audio Aero, Jolida) with this tube preamp? My amp and pre are fully balanced. I assume the BAT is as well. Any others? Again, advantage/disadvantage/no advantage for fully balanced CD given other componants are fully balanced? Much obliged.

I've had lots of gear and heard lots of systems and feel that you can't have enough tubes really. Some of the most transparent and dynamic systems I have heard have been all tube, from source to amp. It is all about system synergy - not the design of each component. If I were you, I would go for the BAT cd player.
