Arcam Alpha 5 Plus Compact Disc CD Player. It is in a lovely clean and fully working condition, having been serviced prior to sale with a new CD Tray belt fitted and a new CD Tray cog fitted which often go brittle with age and break. The linear rails have been cleaned and re-greased, and the lens physically cleaned. It shows some signs of previous use such as light scuffs and scratches, mainly to the top lid (see photos) none of which are highly visible without close inspection, and especially when stacked with other equipment.

These security features do not effect the operation of the devices in any way. This is a large heavy item will be posted via UPS fully tracked and fully insured, hence the postage costs.

Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE Normal 0 false false false RU X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 Welcome to bid for ARCAM Alpha 5 PLUS CD Player with Valve DAC This is very well known and high quality CD player, made by ARCAM originally in UK. The Player was modified extensively and its key modification is tube output stage fitted directly on the original dac board of the player. This modification was made to improve sound quality. General condition The player is in good cosmetic and fully working condition. Its mechanism is working silently and is stable in operation, reads all CD and CD-R with random access in less than 3 sec. The player is supplied with its original remote control and quality mains cable, in original packaging as shown in pictures. Short technical description. Excellent quality Arcam Alpha 5 is a classical audiophile player made with the very best parts available at its time - the famous TDA 1541a DAC, possibly the most musical dac chip ever and equally famous Philips CDM 9 swing arm laser mechanism, the perfect technical match to the dac.Model 5 PLUS has some significant improvements, central of them is DATA reclock suppressing jitter and improving sonic performance even further. The player is reputed not only for its original high sound capabilities, but as well as object to many successful upgrades, leading to even better sonic performance. The original DAC board of the player was modified extensively, in particular aged electrolytic capacitors are replaced with much better quality ones - Rubycon Black Gate , polypropylene ones in dac domain, Panasonic FC for power reservoirs - all these upgrades are well developed and proven to be effective for sonic improvements. Key modification is the tube output stage. It is made by replacement of operational amplifiers with valve based output stage . Tubes are 6S31B Russian subminiature output triodes, probably the best miniature output tubes, capable for low output impedance and very low noise and distortions. Tube stage is made with high quality components as well, like audiophile grade polypropylene output capacitors. These tubes are so compact that allows to be fitted on the original dac board without any changes in architecture of the player. As we mentioned tis player equipped originally with DATA bus reclock and this made this model one of the best ever realization of 1541a DAC. It would be wise to lift this technical advantage to its culmination by using the best quality masterclock. This modification by fitting ultra low jitter oscillator directly to dac board is offered as afret auction option. Please contact us about this additional upgrade. Delivery and possible return. CD player will be supplied with a remote control, good quality power lead and a copy of manual. Shipping cost of £16 quoted is related to UK mainland destinations only and includes insurance. This is a bit higher than usual as the player has extra protection. Attention of International bidders: we will be pleased to ship worldwide. Shipping cost of £36 quoted is initial estimation for EU only. Overseas delivery could cost from £57 (USA, China) to £69 (Australia, South America) We charge an actual minimal for international shipment, please, ask for quotation before bidding to be sure. Unfortunately we can not ship to Russia and Ukraine. The player is 220v only, a transformer will be needed to run it in areas with 110-120v power line Item is fully tested and return is accepted within 2 week after delivery and exclusively in shape as it was shipped, i.e. perfect working condition.
