California Audio Labs CL 20 96K 24Bit CD/DVD Player with HDCD ** Excel Cond ** 80% OFF!!!! see pics

This is a wonderful CD/DVD Player (with HDCD) that I have only owned for a few months and loved it's performance. It is in wonderful condition but like all of us 'audio auholics" I had a wonderful option on a two piece player and DAC that I couldn't pass up at 10 times the price (yes, over $5,000)

I have conservatively rated this an '8' and as you can see from the pics it has been babied all it's life. Looks beautiful, plays wonderfully and can be used as a top notch CD or DVD player. This also has the Pacific Microsonics HDCD chip, which is getting harder to find but makes a big difference on CD's that have this encoding (of which, I have numerous ones)

Comes with the original remote (also in great condition).

To recall a few features, this 20 lb player has a copper sub chassis, vibration dampened suspension, and dual Burr-Brown PCM1720 DAC’s.

From the Stereophile and Soundstage reviews:

“Although there are no vacuum tubes inside, the CL-20 had the rich midrange and delicate HF that one often associates with good tube equipment. CAL CL-20 (a 20/96 player capable of playing CDs and 24/96 DVD audio discs) [is] capable of near-state-of-the-art performance. The CL-20 quickly became my preferred CD/DVD player for its superb tonal balance, transparency, and imaging” (written by Kalman Rubinson of Sterophile).

"As a CD player, the CL-20 is very good. It has a recognizable sonic signature that, I’m convinced, will please some listeners to no end. However, as a DVD player, the CL-20 is a knockout” (Marc Mickelson of Soundstage).

The player will be carefully boxed… any questions please ask.
