formidable is that it’s the complete package – screamin’ good Redbook, a clean and rich
sounding preamp stage, chocked full of inputs, with looks and a U.S. distributor with a good

Redbook player I have ever used; it does things unlike any player and makes me want to hold
tightly to it and beat back anyone who would try to take it away!
