tube CD player for tube integrated amp?

recent lurker, first time poster here.

I'm looking for the best midrange for vocal, guitar, piano music. Tube or solid state redbook CD player would be a better match to my current system (below)

Under my consideration currently:
Ah! Noeb Tjoeb 4000
Doge 6 with NOS tube upgrades
Marantz SA 8001
Cambridge Audio 840C

I recently upgraded to Primaluna Prologue II tube integrated amp driving my old KEF 5 series II speakers. The improvement is so outstanding that my 22-year audiophile itch returns.

Thanks for your inputs.

You did not mention a price point , but I really like how my PP2 works with my Granite 657 CDP . It is very extended and resolving which compliments the PP2 nicely . This unit has seperate SS and tube outputs . The tube side has its own volume control and you can roll the tubes if you want to tailor the sound more to your liking . I have not found the need to do so .

They go for @ $2.5k new and are impossible to find used .

If you have not already done so , try rolling some Mullards into the 12ax spot on the PP2 . Added warmth and base without loosing that sweet top end !

Good luck .
