Special Features

  • Comment "Good Old Hifi": The L-D1 brings for this an ultra-solid mechanical construction into play, with up to 6mm thick aluminum plates. Electronically consequently built in double mono and the turntable has besides the turntable-like direct drive of the CD platter of whole 12cm diameter, which is why it has to be scanned from above!, also a wonderful linear drive, whereby the laser is housed in an extremely robust aluminium case, which moves over the CD like a bridge. The whole thing happens as good as noiseless, the solidity is radiated here downright!
