Hi-Fi, High-End exotic

Grant Fidelity

See that? That's a $3,200 CD player, which will be impossible to justify for pretty much anyone not featured on Joan Rivers' newest TV show. Designed and produced by Grant Fidelity, the CD-1000 Impression II packs a high-end Sanyo CD drive, tube analog output, tube headphone amplifier and a rather basic display screen, while the "anti-vibration aluminum chassis" tries as hard as it can to look both unorthodox and absurdly expensive. It's hard to say if your burnt MP3 discs will actually sound better on this thing (okay, so they won't), but at least you can rest easy knowing that shipping on this 50 pound beast is completely gratis.

The design is probably the best I’ve seen so far. Most of the part was brushed with aluminum, with all of the main sections allocated to the corners forming a pillar-like castle design. The main sections I was mentioning just now is the power supply to the tube system, the solid statd circuit, tube analog output and tube headphone amp. All of them are wrap with aluminum chassis in a harmonic ways.

In the middle you will find the CD drive, while you can get access to all of the ports from the rear side. Grant Fidelity Reference Tube CD-1000 Player will cost you $3,200 a pop with 1 year parts and labor limited warranty (90 days for the tubes) and you can add stainless steel finish if you are willing to add another $380.
