Cambridge Audio Azur 640C V2 with Three Dual Triode Valves !

For sale, my trusty Cambridge Audio Azur 640C V2 CD Player Read the reviews below... http://www.cambridgeaudio.com/product_reviews.php?PID=30&Title=Press+reviews This CD Player is just under four years old and comes with remote control. The CD Player is black. The "Standby" sign has rubbed off above its corresponding button (see picture), and makes a creaking noise occasionally when you switch it on standby, but has done so for over a year. There are also some stains on top of the unit, and to the left of the CD tray, howver those at the left of the tray are only really visible in the light. The CD Player has just had a new laser installed (see picture of old broken laser), an d three months ago a new DAC chip was installed also as one of the twin Wolfson chips decided to die. As well as the above, the CD Player comes fited with no less than THREE dual triode valves, and an additional torodial transformer and capacitors. This work was carried out last September by Ten Audio, with a further upgrade carried out around March of this year at a cost of 265. The result is a louder and shinier sound. Gold Plated RCA sockets are also fitted as part of the upgrade that are a bit thicker than normal ones, so I will throw in a free phono cable free of charge that fits the RCA sockets perfectly. Normal ones also fit it no problem, but can be a bit tight, the ones I will throw in are perfect. Any questions, please feel free to ask. Please note - to take advantage of the triple dual triode upgrade, you must output sound through the twin RCA analouge connections.
