Description

PLEASE READ!!! WORKS FLAWLESSY HOWEVER THE ORIGINAL REMOTE HAS LONG SINCE CEASED FUNCTIONING BUT I CAN SUPPLY A MARANTZ CD REMOTE WHICH CAN ACCESS MOST FUNCTIONS!!!

WHAT HIFI'S REFERENCE DIGITAL SOURCE UNTIL STREAMING BECAME MAINSTREAM!!!

WAS SERVICED IN 2018 WHICH NECESSITATED REPLACEMENT OF THE CD MECH FROM PHILIPS VAM 1250 TO PHILIPS VAM 1202 WHICH MEANT THAT THE MOTHERBOARD ALSO HAD TO BE CHANGED!!!

COMES WITH ADDITIONAL SPARE CD MECH. TO FUTURE-PROOF THE UNIT FOR MANY MORE YEARS OF TROUBLE-FREE PLAYBACK!!!

COMES WITH ORIGINAL BOX AND PACKAGING + 2 x MAGNETIC CLAMP PUCKS + ALL TRANSIT LOCK-SCREWS.

Was fortunate to audition the CDS3 after servicing at The Real Music Company in Wellington with amplification provided by the $500,000 Naim Statement and Focal Kanta Speakers back to back with the NAIM FLAGSHIP CD555 + XPS555DR power supply and was surprised to find a minor improvement in detail retrieval as the difference between the 2 players so decided it wasn't worth upgrading to the significantly pricier CD555.

PHOTOS TO FOLLOW SHORTLY.
