Quad 99 CD-S Player
Some values are ridiculous. This one's just plain STUPID. HOW CAN A BUDGET SOLID STATE CD PLAYER SOUND THIS GOOD, AND BE SO BRILLIANTLY DESIGNED? I DON'T KNOW, BUT I'M GLAD TO HAVE IT HERE! The Quad 99 CD-S is a feat of engineering. Proprietary loading mechanism, Crystal 24/192 DAC inside, ad it'll play CDs, CDRs, and CDRWs. You can also "quadlink" it to a 99 preamp or any RCA line level inputs. Did I mention it also SOUNDS GREAT? Did I mention it's SOLID STATE and DIGITAL and sounds this good? REALLY! OWN ONE. THE QUAD 99 CD-S IS A BARGAIN. If you really want to rock on a budget couple it with the 99 preamp ($899!!!) and 99 amp ($799!)and you're ready to go. If you happen to have some insane speakers that take a ton of power to drive, or you just want things to get RAVE-level in your place, get the already legendary current-dumping technology of the Quad 909 amplifier -- 150w/channel or 250 into 4 ohms....YEP, it's small, but weighs like a chunk of granite taking up the same space...and IT is only $1349.! ENJOY! |
