One small flaw keeps this from being rated 9-10: a ding in the lower left corner of the faceplate. Otherwise flawless visually and operationally. The tube output stage uses two 6922s (or 6DJ8). Included are two sets of tubes: 2 Jan Philips and 2 Hungarian Tungsrams. Other useful features are a headphone jack (with volume control) and the ability to play HDCDs as they were meant to be played, as the player has HDCD encoding. The player is very solidly built, weighing in at 6 Kg. Included are the remote and instruction manual. No original box and packing, but it will be packed well, I'm a fanatic about that.
