Audio Research CD Player

 

Incorporating the strongest aspects of the CD3MKII - its rugged construction, the Philips Pro2 laser mechanism, the Crystal 24-bit DAC, its user-friendly menu of useful features and functions - the REF-CD7 breaks new ground with a gain stage taken directly from the REF3, incorporating the latest proprietary capacitor technology found only in Audio Research Reference components. Using four 6H30 triodes, the audio stage features high-voltage regulation using an additional three 6H30s, coupled to a massive power supply.

Magnepan Magneplanar MGMC1
Speaker System



"I keep having to remind myself that the MGMC1s cost only $750 per pair. That price seems absurdly low when you consider the performance and technology level you get. The center channel is certainly one of the best-sounding models out there, and it matches the MGMC1's sonic character beautifully. Add to this the fact that the hideaway MGMC1s are some of the least intrusive speakers on the market, and it's hard to see how this system could fail."
Home Theater - Michael Trei

 

B&W 685 Home Theater System


For hi-fi or home cinema in small to medium-sized rooms, you need a loudspeaker that doesn't take up floor area, but whose sound can still command the space. You'll find the 685, which can sit on a shelf, table, stand or wall-mount, an inspired choice.



Audio Research Amplifier

Recent advances in solid-state output devices and other components have opened up design possibilities as never before, allowing Audio Research engineers to combine the strengths of two different technologies in a completely new power amplifier:
the new Hybrid Drive HD220 stereo power amplifier.

Bryston CD Player
A State-of-the-Art Redbook CD player

"With the BCD-1, Bryston has succeeded in building a CD player worthy of the company name. I haven't heard flagship players from other companies, but the BCD-1 is the best digital component I have heard. There may be better disc spinners out there, but I guarantee that many that are competitive with the BCD-1 cost multiples of its price and more than likely offer a different sound rather than one that's obviously better". . .

REGA
Apollo CD Player



2006 JOINT BUDGET PRODUCT
OF THE YEAR

This revolutionary new player will analyze the disc to be played and (rather like the engine management system on a modern car which optimises the engine settings to ambient temperature, engine temperature, fuel quality etc.) will adjust itself to the disc in order to give optimal trouble free reading and great sound quality.

All New Saturn CD player -- Wow! $2395

During development of the Apollo it became apparent the CD processor, decoder and servo used were capable of far more than the Apollo circuit would allow. This awareness sparked an excitement in the design team which has evolved into the birth of the Saturn.

In addition to the unique design features already found in the Apollo the Saturn offers significant enhancements to the power supplies, digital to analogue converter, master clock and transformer.

The Saturn is finished to the highest quality using a solid aluminium front panel combined with our custom extruded case and heat sink which both enhance rigidity and appearance.

These improvements take sound performance far in advance of the already superior level achieved by the Apollo.

This just may end your search for a fine redbook CD player -- John Rutan  

 

Audio Research
LS17 Line Stage Preamplifier



The new LS17 retains the strong feature set of the previous LS16 series, offering two balanced and five single-ended inputs, and two balanced and one single-ended output. A monitor input and record output are also provided.

But it is in the LS17's remarkable new level of performance that you will experience the biggest difference from its predecessor. Using two 6H30 twin triodes in the audio stage, the LS17 has a larger power transformer, redesigned power supply and new parts including proprietary output coupling caps. This gives the LS17 the stunning purity of sound first heard in the REF3 and in the more recent LS26.

 

Audio Research
LS26 Line Stage Preamplifier



The LS26 benefits from many enhancements passed down from the REF3, including new proprietary parts, special damping, and other design elements. The LS26 is pure Class-A with zero feedback, the power supply is massive and fully regulated, frequency response extends to 160kHz, input headroom has been increased by 71%, and noise is vanishingly low, allowing the LS26 to be used in noise-sensitive applications. Gain is provided by two long-life 6H30 triodes, so maintenance costs are low. With its low output impedance, the LS26 will easily drive virtually any amplifier you would care to use.

Now on display: The Pass Labs X250.5 Series Power Amp


The X250.5 is the natural progression of the X250. Changes include improvements to power transformers, paralleled high speed / soft recovery rectifiers, improved AC EMI filters, more paralleled power supply capacitors, increased supply RC filtering, refinements to the front-end input circuits, and the addition of single-ended Class A bias circuits for balanced single-ended Class A at low power levels.

 

Now on display:
The Magnepn MG20.1

To the music lover, the MG20.1 is the best and most cost effective way to have the "concert experience" at home.The MG20.1 has wide dynamic range and deep bass response, but what separates the MG20.1 from all other assaults on "state-of-the-art" is resolving power.

Jonathan Valin, of Fi Magazine, said:
"So what have we got here? A big planar speaker that throws the widest, deepest, tallest, most coherent soundfield I've heard from a hi-fi system, filled with the most naturally-sized instruments I've heard from a hi-fi system, with the sweetest, most natural timbres I've heard from a hi-fi system, the finest dynamic nuance I've heard from a hi-fi system (particularly in the treble), and the most natural illusion of instrumental "action" I've heard from a hi-fi system. What we've got here, in sum, is "realistic reproduction" in the highest sense of the phrase, in the sense I spoke of earlier, the virtual duplication of instruments and voices rather than mere analogs of certain aspects of their sound."



Cary SLP-05 Preamplifier

Cary CAD-120S Amplifier

This stereo vacuum tube power amplifier has a great history at Cary Audio Design. The previous generation Rocket 88 R and the V 12R power amplifiers garnered fantastic reviews for stable power output, incredible value for the money and sound quality along with best buy and 'Class A' ratings from magazines and reviewers worldwide. Building on this storied legacy, Cary is releasing the CAD 120S stereo vacuum tube power amplifier. This innovative stereo power amplifier is rated at 60 watts per channel in triode mode and 120 watts per channel in ultralinear mode into an 8 ohm speaker load.
