Naim CDS CD player

Original Naim CDS CD player, a two box design with separate transport and power supply. The player is in good condition and is fully working. The player is supplied with original Naim Burndy cable, remote control, CD clamps and Musicworks UK mains lead (2m length). The units will be securely packaged for shipping (UK only).

The CDS is a remote controlled, two box design. It is configured as a separate transport and power supply, as opposed to the more conventional player and decoder arrangement, which we realised placed unacceptable limitations on the quality of information transfer.

The very sophisticated power supply is typical of Naim, featuring two toroidal transformers and twenty-six power regulators, ensuring complete stability of the ultra-sensitive circuitry.

The player incorporates a number of internal suspension systems. The one used for the transport is precisely matched to the electronic control servos while the main board has its own system to isolate it from high frequency vibrations. Discs are secured by a carefully designed magnetic clamp.

Audio output is fixed at the standard level and is both linear and absolute phase correct. The remote control provides full disc control and programming.

In designing the CDS we have made important gains at every stage. From increased fidelity in the RF signals attained by the laser head, to the elegant treatment of the complex multi-pole filters at the output, we have always put musical performance first. We believe you will be as delighted with the results as we are.
