Most affordable silver spk cable....

cd player with high output voltage,,under 1k?

Tubed CD Player
Go to Audio Asylum and search for the Ah! Njoe Tjoeb 4000 and the Jolida CD100. You'll find numerous threads about these (and others), but these are two of the most respected players for under $1000.JD
