musical cd player 1-2K range??
The Doge6 is an amazing player for the money. Purchase from Pacific Valve with one year warranty and 30 days money back. No affiliation with the company or product. 
CD upgrade.
Vicks - Many people here, including myself, attempted to give the OP some well-meaning advice,for better or worse. But when it comes down to: "What do you think of XYX?" or "How much better is XYX than ABC?", it just becomes an exercise in futilit... 
CD upgrade.
This is getting very tiresome. 
How much is this worth?
Any piece of gear is impossible to value without knowing the condition and seeing detailed photos. You don't even mention whether it is in good working condition.

52Tiger - no, I haven't heard the 300B, but I have heard a few versions of the Solista and the LT and the smaller push-pull they make. All the ones I've heard have a very palpable presence that is extremely addictive once you get used to it. IMO, ... 
The Best Way to Clean Records
My mistake - it's Axiss Audio, not Axxis. Here's a linkhttp://store.acousticsounds.com/d/45071/Axiss_Audio-ROR_Vinyl_Record_Cleaning_Fluid-Record_Cleaner 
The Best Way to Clean Records
Actually, Axxis Audio is selling ROR (residual oil remover) as a record cleaner. ROR is used to clean camera lenses and works great on glass. It's basically glass cleaner and even contains a tiny bit of ammonia. You can buy a small bottle of it fo... 
CD upgrade.
I would look into the Ear Acute. The new model has digital inputs, which is cool if you care to fool around with computer audio. The older one, without the digital inputs, is a great buy on the used market.

Admittedly a Viva fan, but I don't think that there's anything in the price range you are thinking of that will match the tonality of the Viva you own now. Yes, there are amps that will play louder, but if you value that "in the room" presence, yo... 
What is the gray felt meterial I got with my Sony?
Put it over your ears. 
Most suitable tone arm for linn sondek LP12
If you have no complaints about the sound, I would keep what you have. The OL arms are very decent. I don't know what you're using for a phono stage, but if you're using a cheap one, a used Linto might be a good upgrade. They are a great deal on t... 
I wanna learn about Naim CD players
I would post this on the Naim Forum. They will be happy to answer your questions. I've owned a lot of Naim gear and I don't think there's anything available in your price range that would be able to be serviced if it broke. With $300, I would go f... 
Recording/Engineering Practices
Agree with Learsfool - Very few jazz recordings even attempt to sound realistic. Could be that they feel the "bigger than life" approach is best. Everything they do is strange. They put one reverb on the bass drum, another on the snare - another o... 
Sony XA-5400es player...Giant Killer or just Ok?
I see you own a 9000ES. If you have a lot of SACDs, the 5400 is very good with that format. If you're satisfied with the 9000, you'll be satisfied with the 5400. Other than that, you get what you pay for. It's a well-built, good-sounding machine. 
Newbie to analog
You have a nice system. I suggest buying a Music Hall 5.1. I think there's a 1-week old demo up for sale now. You get the whole thing - tt, arm, cart for like $700. I've owned one and it's plenty good enough to get started up with analog. It's rea...
