Since I started streaming and playing FBA, I haven't been using this CD player. I rip CDs onto the Innuos' hard drive and play them, so I've decided to let this go and let someone else enjoy it. I have always like NOS DACs for their analogue-like sound, and this is a fine example of that type. It has performed flawlessly ever since I got it, and with a digital out it can also be used as a transport.
Looking at reviews, I liked the look of the Forbidden City components that Consonance make, so I bought a red front panel, and ran it like that for a while, only putting the black front panel back on when I bought other black components. Take the lid off, tilt it forward to stop the buttons all falling out (or put them back if they do!), undo the screws holding the two front panels and swap them over. Easy-peasy. There is a small scratch (shown; the specks are a camera artifact) on the top plate, but otherwise it is like new. The remote is a solid metal chunk, but a generic Philips remote will operate it too.
It comes with the original box and packing, and postage will include insurance up to £500. Auditioning and pick up are welcomed, but as I am in Plymouth that is usually hard for most people.

I am asking for £430, plus £20 P&P, inc. insurance.

Looking at the situation again, I've decided place it at £400 plus £20 P&P.

Dropping to £360 plus P&P, as it's going on ebay to take advantage of their £1 selling fees.

I thought the LIU Turntable they made that matched was cool
