  effect of tubes in cd players
some cd players have tubes inside. Does it change the sound a lot like using a tube preamp?

There are some players that can be switched between solid state out and Tube stage out.. I know Cary makes a couple and there are some other ones as well, but I can't think of them. I have found solid state digital running thru a tube preamp the best overall balance..
