For sale is my a5 CD player . Asking $600 obo . Hate to see it go but since the vinyl bug . I haven't used for months . And instead of just letting it collect dust someone should use it .
It's msrp was 2500 it's a fantastic player I think even Mathew Polk used one . See the reviews more pics upon request. Thanks mike

    Matt does indeed own one and he wouldn't let me take it when I was picking up some other stuff from his house.

    If I still had my A5-CR amp, I would buy this just for samesies! Great player at a great price.

    GLWS!

    I do have your A5-CR. :)

    Makes this very appealing, but not in the cards for me at the moment...

    So, not to thread jack, but if Matthew Polk owns one....I'm guessing this may be the last silver disc spinner one ever buys??

    The A5 uses a pair of JAN 6112 tubes, but they last many thousands of hours in use. Finding new ones is not an issue but I think they are supposed to be a matched pair in this application.

    Would someone that owns one, hit the high points? Would this pair well with a SS amp. I have a Anthem 225 as well as a Parasound P5 and HCA-1500A.

    TIA.

    Fixed... :p;)

    Your price seems on the money, and it is a heck of a CD player. I am on the hunt for a PS Audio PerfectWave transport right now or I would snap this up.

    It’s hard for me to let it go it has such a richness to it . Make your music sound so much better . It’s hard to explain it like gives it a 3D open stage. It surrounds you in the music.

    Forgot to say the buttons on the front have to be pressed one or two times to work them don’t know if it’s from me always using the remote. They still work . Let’s drop the price to $550 obo and buyer pays shipping. Thanks

    I'm sure someone will scoop it up eventually! This thing looks awesome, I would love it, but it's not in the budget for me at the moment. GLWS!

    I know it’s sad to see it go, just wish it was quick and painless.
