MUSICAL FIDELITY A5.5CD – CD TUBE Player :Complete with all the original packings (all great condition with light marks on top but nothing major. See picture for top which I did my best to display it on the photo), power cable and remote control. It comes with stock ECC88 tubes and it does sound very good with them. If you wish to upgrade these tubes I have a rare new old stock Brimar ECC88/6DJ8 matched pair on sale separately. Please see my other items for sale.Collection available: LS6 4DN Leeds Musical Fidelity’s A5.5 tube hybrid CD player employs the best DAC’s, filters and componentry available to ensure technical performance which is equal to the most expensive available. Coupled with the cutting-edge digital circuitry is an almost impossibly smooth vacuum tube output stage that makes this player sound more like an ultra-high-end turntable than a compact disc machine. “Outstanding Overall Balance” Very low noise lets you hear ‘right into the corners’ of the recording. Excellent linearity down to an enviable -105 dB offers exceptional recovery of low level detail. Ultra-low Jitter DAC The A5.5 CD player uses an advanced 24 bit Delta-Sigma (Bitstream) dual differential 8X oversampling DAC. The extremely high-quality digital-to-analog performance offers ultra-low jitter, ultra-low noise, and vanishingly low distortion. It achieves both an excellent technical specification and unparalleled CD sound quality. Vacuum Tube Output Stage The Musical Fidelity delivers analog circuitry that’s fully the equal of the exquisite digital componentry. Thus, the digital side of the A5.5 CD is complemented by a nicely-designed vacuum tube buffer stage which delivers a high quality tube audio output. “It has a sound reminiscent of the much-loved Nu-Vista, because it contains a pair of ECC88 tubes,” reports Ken Kessler in the June 2008 issue of England’s Hi-Fi News magazine. The A5.5 CD is pretty well as good as it gets. The A5.5 CD offers superlative technical performance, great design, and superb build quality in the service of providing a subtle musical performance.
