Warmer sounding CD Players?

Are there warmer(tube like) sounding CD Players then my Music Hall 25? The detail of this cd player is incredible and bass improvement over my old player is just great but I am LP lover (I play 50-50% CD/LP) and my taste seems to lean more towards the warmer sound. I have NAD Receiver and Paradigm Studio 20v3s which are both very neutral and on the warmer side also.
I've had my Music Hall 25 w/level 1plus mods for a while but I'm thinking of trying something warmer,, Any suggestions?

Bartokfan,
Yes "tube like", sounds wierd I know but it was the best example I could think of for explaining what sound I would like. Warmer/more musical as you stated is just what I'm looking for.. I'd love a true tube player but that is way out of my league price wise.

Sonic frontiers SFCD1 isnt out of your league, only uses 2 6922 tubes...buy a few different pairs and have some fun. No risk buy, they always move in the 800 to 1000 range.

Why not try a tjoeb 4000 stock. pop a pair of mullards in there and she will do great. For kicks you will add remote control to your system also with the 4000. Will hold its value pretty well also.Heck a decent warm plyer is the rotel rcd 855.
