As I have not done any in-depth reading on that particular unit what is it that the tube or tubes if there are multiple ones actually driving?

i've never seen that headunit before, it looks good but hows it sound?

but how does it sound?

As good as it looks..

The top end of this unit is the shiznit! Just amazing sound out of the box, w/out tone controls- separation and detail went north coming from the Eclipse CD8455, I noticed a hint of warmth out of the midrange and vocals but still retains the graininess of the voice -my buddy describes the vocals to have a noticeable 'push and pull' sound to the vocals that did not exist before.

The low end- you can hear a spatial quality around the instruments that was not there before, specially the drums and snares ...that how i'd describe it, space between them.

All these things resulted in a deeper soundstage. I had been driving with the Eclipse set on flat for weeks, so I mean you play those reference tracks over and over and you listen for those cues- when you hear differences its readily apparent.

Was the Eclipse bad? No. I just never used a HU this good before. So theres a reason why this bad boy costs what it does.

Cons? It HATES scratched CD's! I hadnt heard a cd skip in 3yrs running Eclipse decks.
