FOR SALE!!! RARE Carver Tubed CD PLayer SOLD !!!
« on: 26 Sep 2016, 04:08 pm »
For Sale a RARE  Carver SD/A -490T  complete with original manual.
This unit has been recently serviced including lubrication of the drawer mechanism and replacement of the drawer return belt and power display..
It is in perfect operating condition with near-perfect cosmetics. It has a couple minor nicks around the door edge that are readily visible in the close-up photos, but not noticeable unless you are looking for them up close. No major Scratches or anything noticeable. It's a great looking piece but MOST IMPORTANTLY a great sounding cd player… Almost makes your CD’s sound like you are listening to vinyl..
I have two systems in my home and this one has to go because of downsizing..



Description
The Carver SD/A-490t features two 6DJ8 vacuum tubes in the final output stage.
They achieve very low static and transient distortion while providing extremely high dynamic headroom.
This simple but elegant output stage results in unparalleled transparency; because the tubes are run at less than 25% of their maximum capacity, they are not susceptible to ageing effects and should last the lifetime of the SD/A-490t without replacement.
You have chosen a first-quality CD player with triple-beam laser scanning, random play and a Bitstream Conversion Linear Single Bit D/A Converter which represents the latest in digital to analogue translation technologies


.
Disc format: CD
Digital converter: 1 bit MASH
Frequency response: 10Hz to 20kHz
Dynamic range: 100dB
Signal to Noise Ratio: 100dB
Channel separation: 96dB
Total harmonic distortion: 0.5%
Line output: 2.2V
Digital outputs: coaxial, optical
Valve complement: 2 x 6DJ8
Dimensions: 19 x 3.8 x 12.25 inches
Weight: 9lbs
For convenience in making CD-to-tape copies, the SD/A-490t has a variable-length fade feature, an Edit/Time Fade control and the ability to split your selected program into A and B sides.
These features can help you make better than ever tapes which are tailored to the CD's length (and vice versa).
In addition, a version of our Digital Time Lens circuit called Soft EQ sets the SD/A-490t apart from other CD Players - Soft EQ is an extremely sophisticated circuit which prevents the loss of sonic front-to-back depth imaging, as well as the excessive brightness sometimes associated with compact disc recordings.
How and when you use it depends on your choice of discs, your type of speakers, and your own musical taste.

Asking $400.00 OBO  plus shipping   Paypal ok
