  • Excellent HIFI CD Player for sale

    Noticed this on my daily rummaging through canuckaudiomart

    I am selling one SHANLING CDT-80. It has been used for about 20 minutes. Its remote codes conflict with my integrated amplifier, so when I try to change the volume on my amp, the CD player changes tracks. So, I need to sell it or the amplifier. My loss is your gain. This is the 220V version of the...


    Very nice CD player, at an excellent price too.

    SHANLING CDT-80 for $650 CAD

          I finally have a use for those cardboard tubes at the center of my toilet paper rolls!

          I'll tape them to some CD players and sell them on eBay for $650.

            isn't a tube CD player a contradiction of sorts?
            And at that price, I hope it's got those audiophile wooden knobs on it
            Yeah, well I'm gonna build my own lunar space lander! With blackjack aaaaannd Hookers! Actually, forget the space lander, and the blackjack. Ahhhh forget the whole thing!

                  Never heard of this brand. I don't use digital cables when the D/A converter in the CD player is of high quality. In fact, many higher end preamplifiers have no digital inputs, expecting this stage to be handled by the CD player or by a separate D/A box.

                    what is digital coaxial output? Something special?

                      It's a cable to transmit S/PDIF signals over copper wire, with Cinch/RCA plugs, 0.5V signalling voltage and a 75 Ohm characteristic impedance and, surprisingly, a coaxial cable layout. It's one of the two common digital cables, the other, more common one being TOSLINK (the optical digital audio cables you might know).

                        First let me say, $650 for a HIFI quality player is cheap.

                        Shanling makes some amazing players, some of them easily 10 times that price.

                        There are two big differences I have noticed testing out different CD players. The first is how bright there are (bright sounding vs. warm sounding), the second is the soundstage. A third would just be the noise made by the transport.

                        edit: not gonna say $100 is cheap for a hamburger, but I'd still like to try it!!!

                          Yep, i totally understand every single word and phrase you just mentioned ........

                          I know TOSLINK. So which one is better? I am thinking the optical one, because there is no resistance/noise/etc. ?
                          But then again, what do I know. I used to sticky tape extenion cables on the speaker wires for my Hifi system

                            According to my dad, a lot of people prefer the rca/coax over the optical, something to do with jitter.

                              The firmness of the connection was the reasoning I was familiar with.
