Line Mangnetic CD player 515. Tube rolling .

"Line Mangnetic".   Hahaha. Sorry I can't edit the heading.

Hi team... I’ve bought a cd515 and it’s fantastic. It uses 6KZ8 tubes in the output stage. I have some Nos RCA knocking around and I wondered if anyone has made any improvements to their player by tube rolling. It sounds very good with the stock tubes and I’m happy to the point where I may just leave it alone. Unless of course someone has different ideas.... Thoughts please.

Thanks very much.....

Hey borg....I'm thinking of getting a LM 515.  Did you ever do any tube rolling and if so, what do you think? 

Thanks.......

Hi David and borg7x9:  I too just got a LM 515 CD player (and I also have the LM 518i amp).  This CD player is excellent and sounds so great paired with the 518. It doesn't seem to get much "press" but I can tell you it blows my Marantz away.  Very rich and full overall and much more bass extension. My VPI Prime is starting to collect a little dust since I hooked it up (I plead temporary insanity). I agree the stock tubes sound very nice and I don't have a major urge to change them out. 

But David...why would just changing out a fuse be such an improvement?
