No frills CD player for tube amp
For a solution within your budget get a pair of used Vandersteen 1C speakers usually Since then I have only owned two speakers with metal dome tweeters that have been tolerable. At $500 for the Vandys you'd still have enough for the Jolida cdp men...

Some folks missed that incredibly important day of kindergarten where the teacher presented the idea that “if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.”There's the problem. Many of us are so old there was no Kindergarten when...

Mystical Performances
Jax2, just ordered the Damien Jurado from Amazon. Never heard of him so looking forward to it.Said it before and I'll say it again. Finding new music through threads like this one is my favorite thing about Audiogon. 
Mystical Performances
