Level Three Red Book CD Player. The CD5.1x is a completely new machine which elevates the one-box CD player to hitherto unknown levels of performance. Never before has it been possible to achieve such astonishingly superior levels of digital replay from a single chassis, integrated design.

 

The CD5.1x features the top-loading Philips CD Pro 2LF CD mechanism, which we custom modify and improve in-house, bringing the performance of this already excellent mechanism up to a standard that is truly in a class of its own.

The power supply is a valve-rectified and regulated design, using a 6X5 and ECL82.

The analogue output stage uses a combination of 1 x 5814a and 1 x 5687WB valves, feeding a pair of our world-renowned output transformers, using SHiB cores with copper primaries and secondaries. A mix of our own 0.5 Watt and 1 Watt non- magnetic Tantalum resistors are used in all critical areas, as are our own custom Audio Note (UK) foil / Mylar and electrolytic capacitors. The CD5.1x uses our own in-house designed and manufactured digital transformers; silver wound for the transport side and copper wound for the DAC side.

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

  • Different suppliers have different policies regarding shipping, some 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 and to ensure 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.


  • We do 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.

  • 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 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. As many of our products are special orders, we do not always accept products back if you change your mind. If you come in to audition 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.
