DescriptionIncludes two copies of the grading statement.This is an authorized import and is 100V specification. This Verdi La Scala has been upgraded at a local specialty store. Both Verdi and Elgar started out sounding great, but both Verdi and Elgar were upgraded by replacing the condensers with condensers from the best sounding period. Since no modifications have been made to the condensers, they will accept them even if they have to be repaired elsewhere, and since they are high-quality condensers originally used by dCS, there is no need to worry about them sounding worse than before they were replaced. By the way, if the original sound is 100 points, the latest version is about 200 points in sound quality. Also, the power supply board has been replaced with a high-quality Scarlatti power board, making Verdi La Scala the highest sound quality in the world! After the upgrade, the sound is intense and high-speed, but also natural. It was upgraded and repaired in 2016 and 2021, replacing the SONY mechanism assembly (pickup lens and drive mechanism) and at considerable cost! The unit is a beauty with no noticeable scratches, but the display glass came off during shipping and rubbed in the shipping box, so the print on the inside is pretty much gone. Please see photos. The remote control is clean. I tested 10 SACDs on hand and they all read and played fine. However, Verdi La Scala is a scratchy SACD, and European and Japanese minor label SACDs read poorly. This is not a defect but a specification. Also, when I turn on the power, it enters test mode with a fairly high probability, but if I immediately turn off the power and restart it, it works as usual. This test mode is a test mode for SONY, the drive mechanism, and dCS did not know how to fix it. After rebooting, it is working 100% normally. There is an instruction manual but no original box.*Please see the photos and buy only if you are satisfied with the item.If you have any concerns about the product, please contact us directly.ShippingItems will be shipped via FEDEX.Please allow 5 business days for handling time.Shipping from Japan.It takes approximately 4 to 7 days for the product to arrive after it is shipped.International Buyers - Please Note:Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost.
