tube cd player vs solid state
if want to improve the warm side of my sound systeme but i want to keep the punch that we find on a solid state. Does it a good ideas to change only my cd(atoll cd200)for a tube cd player and keep my mcintosh integrated(ma-6500). Or maybe im better whit a solid state cd player whit a warm and VERRY DYNAMIC SOUND. please sent me your opinion and no of model that you suggest. My speaker are canton ergo 695
