Anybody know what happened to the NA distributor for Original (aaa-audio.com)? The site is down. I was there just about a month ago and things looked up to date.
I've had the CD-A8T tube cd player for about 5 or 6 years now and I just love the sound. At one point I owned the Rega Apollo and did a head to head comparison and I like the Original more.
The thing I enjoy most about this cdp is how musical it sounds. It's also warm with powerful bass and the build quality is superb. It uses a pair of 12AU7 tubes at the output. Easily one of my favorite piece.
I was thinking about trying out one of their other models but I'm not sure where I can get info on where to purchase them in NA.

Any help appreciated

    Apparently the tube type CD player you are looking for is no longer in production, the forums on the subject point to the one at the link below as a replacement.

    Hi Transmaster,
    I already own the CD-A8T. I was looking to try out a higher end model from Original. Not really interested in the Jolida but thanks for the heads up.
    I know Original is still around. I was on their Chinese website just a week ago and now I can't remember the url. They had some new models on there. Tried googling but no luck.
    I'll check with my dealer. He has connections with audio nuts in Hong Kong.
    I hope they get a new NA distributor. Their equipments are awesome and get excellent reviews.
