Level 1 Red Book CD player. The CD 2.1x/II is essentially a component upgraded version of the CD1.1x, equipped with better parts such as our own custom produced Audio Note (UK) Tantalum resistors, custom Audio Note (UK) electrolytic capacitors and Audio Note (UK) copper foil capacitors, making for a more open, detailed and lively performance in comparison with its more affordable stable mate.

Whilst the rest of the audiophile world continues its delusional and ultimately doomed love affair with the currently fashionable crop of what are claimed to be "high resolution" computer sources, we at Audio Note (UK) continue to extract even greater degrees of information and quality from Red Book CD, which is still the best, currently available digital music format. 

Audio Note (UK) is highly critical of the digital medium as presented by compact disc; we sincerely hope that you too will find this transport breaks free from the "digital mould" that we are all so accustomed to, and so opens a new window on your CD collection.

It has been specifically engineered for sonic performance rather than technical specification, and fulfils all Audio Note (UK) Level 1 criteria.

 

Digital, done right

 

The CD 2.1x/II uses an in-house modified Philips L1210 dedicated Red Book CD mechanism and a simple yet revealing DAC based around the Philips 1543 16 bit multi-bit digital to analogue converter chip. The analogue output stage is equipped with the quite exceptional 6111WA miniature triode and our own in house designed and manufactured Audio Note (UK) copper foil capacitors. This player, like its bigger brothers, features no oversampling and no digital filtering, making for a highly effective sonic combination all housed in a small and robust chassis.

About In-Store only, or click and collect products....

  • Different suppliers and manufacturers have individual and differing policies regarding shipping on some or all of their products, some will require that you physically come in to the store, to get the benefit of advice and demonstration and, in addition, some items require professional installation and/or setup as part of our dealer agreement. This also ensures that you get the very best performance from your investment.

    Although not all our items are available as direct 'add to basket' we can often arrange to deliver the items and install the equipment ourselves.

    There is usually a charge for these services so please contact us first and we can discuss any queries and options with you.

    If in any doubt give us a call or pop in and we can discuss the best and most convenient way to make your purchase, we are here to help!

  • We do indeed stock many of the items featured on our website, but due to the large range of equipment we offer and the variety of finishes and options on some products it would be impractical to stock all products in all finishes. Some products will be special order, and stock levels rise and fall on popular items, so if you are coming in to see a particular item please contact us first to check we have it available. A few brands are mail order only and we do not generally have them on display in the showroom. The showroom is well stocked and the items on display for demonstration change regularly.
  • Yes, we are located on a mixed residential and commercial street and there is reasonably priced pay and display parking both outside and in the surrounding streets. It is free after 5.30pm if you want to check our the local restaurants in the evening to celebrate your purchases!
  • If you know exactly what you want - that's great, we can provide. However - many of our customers find that a product demonstration and comparison has helped them make the correct decision for them. You can ask any questions and listen in a relaxed, no pressure environment before you purchase- We have 30 years of experience in making customers happy and we may be able to suggest something you might not have considered. We know how careful component matching can make the difference between a system you can listen to or really enjoy for many years! Just give us a call in advance so we can give you our full attention.
