Yummy, this is a very nice sounding CD player!
But, before we go any further, the remote control doesn't seem to work. :scratch:
Everything else is hunky dory, though. :)
Nope, I can't recall the eBay seller I got this from. :doh: Someone who does these mods based in Scotland, I think. No, not 10 Audio. :nono:
Anyhow -- some pix.
This would seem to be the added valve stage. Two ecc82 / 12AU7 valves.

Here's more general views of the innards

And finally, a view of the top panel - not mint, but quite clean

Comments / thoughts on the valve stage implementation are welcome. :)
This excels at small/medium scale music - much like EE Minimax CDP and DAC.
Yes, it can play BIG music, but there's other kit around that does it better, imho.
Bloody hell, you should hear this on female vocals. :eek:
Jake / lordmortlock had this on longish term loan. I shall invite him to make some brutally honest comments.
Oh yeah the price - £200 plus delivery, please.
