Anybody heard a LECTOR CDP-7t ?

This is the Italian tubed CD only player that Harry Pearson raved about in the most recent issue of The Absolute Sound.

I could almost buy one based on The Absolute Sound description alone, but I guess I better do a little more research and there is not a lot of info out there.

One internet retailer says the player was a big hit at CES 2004. Anybody know if the player lives up to TAS review and the hype?

Just got a Lector CDP-7t and I must say this is a heck of a player.

Yes, what HP said in his review is true and consistent to
what I heard. It has the most glorious high ends I've ever heard from any digital setup. Lots of air from top to bottom (yes, even the lowest register is full of air). The
strings, horns, cymbals, all sound crispy and with real-life
body. It's solid, and articulated bass keeps the lines of music flowing freely.

Compare to the Burmester 001, which I had in my system for
a short while, Lector bettered it with more liquid, yet more
authoritive sound. I am not surprised why HP think it can
compete with the digital setup cost 20X of Lector.
