This CD player can also be ordered as an SQ12GT and comes with the Granite Audio Model #657 Tube Section installed by the Granite Audio Factory. This upgrade costs $1400.00 extra. And for another $400.00 you can get Granite Audio's remote volume control upgrade for the tube section ...  

Yes, the GT is even better than the original Granite Audio #657.  It has a better newer DAC for one thing.  And we made some improvements to the tube section too.  Yes, the GT tube section has the old input impedance mod with ultra-low noise floor of -99dB.  And, it also has a power supply impedance mod and newer custom transformer that give even better bass and midrange sonics.

Here's the specs on the SQ-12GT's tube section.

Frequency Response  20Hz - 20KHz
Signal to Noise           -99dB
THD @ 2V Output     0.06%
THD @ 4V Output     0.10%
Maximum Output        30 Volts RMS
Remote ALPS Volume Control option, MSRP $500.00
Vacuum Tube Rectification.
Tube Compliment  1-6X4 Rectifier , 2-6DJ8 Power Tubes.
Long Life 105C Low ESR Panasonic Electrolytic Capacitors.
Sprague 715P Polypropylene Coupling Capacitors.
Shielded silver wire.
Gold over Silver over OFC Copper RCA Jacks.
Separate Isolated Laminate Type Transformer Power Supply.

Your GT upgrade will come with the same quality tubes as the #657.  NOS Phillips JAN 6DJ8 and 6X4 rectifier.  I've had customers rave about using the following 6DJ8 tubes.

1.  Amperex  NOS  #7308 White Label.
2.  Siemens  #7308  E188CC.
3.  Amperex Holland "PQ".
4.  Siemens  CCa's.
