Grant Fidelity Reference Tube CD-1000 player (aka Impression II) sure is a beauty, not only from the appearance but also from design concept. It comes with the best layout you could ask for from a high end CD player – all main sections of the player (power supply to tube and solid state circuits, tube analog output, tube headphone amp, CD drive) are strategically placed in the four corners and the middle of the player in isolated aluminum chassis without interfering with each other.

The retail price for the Impression II is US$3,200.00.
