i heard the prima luna cd player at ces.
the sound of "modern tube designs" is what you can expect from this component. that is, it sounds like there are no tubes in it. fortunately, it doesn't sound like a solid state cd player.
as i have said and will continue to emphasize, current tube designs no longer have the virtues of traditional tube designs. i believe that differences between tube amps of similar power and tube line stages are very small. it almost does not make a difference what product you purchase, unless the circuit is tube sensitive.
