Not well known in the UK but apparently very well known in Italy. It's in silver, sorry about pics with a black top.
4 Unbalanced inputs.
1 Balanced input
Tape loop

For sake of accuracy there's a couple of small scratches on top of the unit and what looks like a mug stain (The latter not apparent unless you look for it). I've taken shots with a flash to highlight these at their worst. There's also a very small mark next to the input selector - I imagine this would polish out.
Overall I'd say the unit is 8/10 cosmetically.

I did a direct swap for a Unison Research CD Primo about 6 months or so ago.
Came with no remote but has original packaging. I only have French power chords so will come without unless sent to EU.
Has performed brilliantly for me in front of a number of power amps.
£550 firm including postage to UK/France. PM if you'd like more info'. Thanks for looking.
