My CD player is up for sale. Bought from new in 2007 and lightly used, it’s in perfect condition and is seldom moved from its shelf in a child free, smoke free environment. It was returned to Nagra in 2010 and given a new drawer mechanism and updates and as expected from Nagra, has been faultless.
I see one of same age on a dealers website as sold at £5500. I’m asking £4500 complete with box and all paperwork.

Beautifully engineered bit of kit, I could never work out how to use it, didn't own one but know someone who did.

I spoke to Nagra once concerning the reliability of their machines, stating I would use one continuously for at least five hours a day. Their answer was that they couldn't conceive of anyone wanting to use a CDP continuously for such a long time. I wasn't impressed with their answer, or in their confidence with their design, so didn't go any further with buying one.

That's a ridiculous answer from Nagra. I'm sure many of us have had listening sessions that run to or exceed five hours. I know I have.

Exactly my thoughts at the time.

Now don’t go dissing my ex! In fairness some early machines had drawer problems which Nagra fixed. Mine was as smooth as a baby’s bum. I had a few difficulties finding a suitable replacement and went through Chord, DCS and Audionote before settling on ARC.
