most analog sounding CDP

Meridian G08. Fatigue-free without losing dynamics or detail, which is tough to do. Great 3D soundstage. A very musical player. I've had mine about 6 months. It took about 3 months to break in (300 hours est.). More people should hear this thing - it's quite good.

Also it's a completely non-finicky player. It's tracked everything I've tried, doesn't clip off the first second or two of some tracks like some players do, no power-on or off noises, has a very quiet transport, and is built extremely solidly. The remote is a bit over-the-top but it is well made. In any case, you could replace it with a learning remote if you wanted to.

I searched for a long time for a CD player and heard most of the top contenders. The G08 holds its own with the best out there and is reasonably priced for the sound and build quality you get.

Turbomodded Shanling T200. Best CDP I have heard with redbook, and I've heard the Meitner, Audio Aero and lots of others. The Turbomodded MSB Gold with 24/12 gets close...

My Arcam FMJ CD23T run thru my Music Reference RM5 MKIII tube pre to my Music Reference RM9 tube amp to my Spendor S100's absolutely works for me! Although I must admit for true 'Analog' sound my Linn/Lingo/LP12/Ittok MkIV/Ortofon Kontrapunkt B rig thoroughly spanks my CD player!;) But since you asked about CDP's the Arcam is magnificent, especially at the prices found here on A'gon!

For me, Naim CDS3. It doesn't perfectcly hit a bulls eye, but close enough.

For budget minded it has to be the Rega Planet.
