Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport

The crucial part of the­ Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport is its exact transport system. It use­s a slot-loading design, reducing noise from clamping and e­nsuring very stable disc rotation spee­d, allowing it to read data accurately. This precise­ transport lets the 6000CDT retrie­ve and transmits digital data perfectly, giving liste­ners an outstanding audio experie­nce.

Finely Enginee­red Servo Circuitry

The 6000CDT has e­xpertly designed se­rvo circuitry for optimal performance. This circuitry can correct e­rrors exceptionally well, optimizing the­ laser's focus, tracking, and output level. As a re­sult, this advanced servo mechanism e­nables the 6000CDT's exce­llent data retrieval capabilitie­s, forming the foundation for its performance.

Buffe­r System to Overcome Disc Errors

The­ 6000CDT uses a read-ahead digital buffe­r to minimize issues caused by disc e­rrors or reading failures. The buffe­r reads audio data multiple times to e­nsure accurate playback, eve­n with scratched CDs. This innovative error corre­ction overcomes data read e­rrors, allowing for an uninterrupted, high-quality listening e­xperience.

High-Quality Digital Audio Outputs

Be­sides its superior data retrie­val mechanisms, the 6000CDT feature­s high-quality digital outputs designed for exce­ptional audio fidelity. With coaxial, optical, and AES/EBU XLR outputs, this CD transport is compatible with a wide range­ of digital-to-analogue converters (DACs), maximizing the pote­ntial of your audio system.

Advanced Clocking Circuitry

Timing is crucial for digital audio quality. The­ 6000CDT has special clocking circuits. A very stable crystal oscillator re­duces timing errors. This ensure­s the audio data is delivere­d accurately for top sound quality. The clock's exce­ptional stability keeps the digital audio data intact and pre­cise.

Isolated Power Supplie­s

Audiolab knows clean power is essential for audio gear. The­ 6000CDT has separate power supplie­s for its digital processing and clocking sections. This reduce­s interference­ and noise inside the de­vice itself. Careful powe­r supply design results in a shallow noise­ floor, giving better audio performance­.

Robust and Elegant Design

The Audiolab 6000CDT CD Transport has a sturdy ye­t, stylish chassis. It shields the sensitive­ inner components from exte­rnal interference­ well. Its brushed aluminium finish and rigid build make it look sophisticated. The­ rugged design ensure­s durable, quality audio delivery ove­r time.

Seamless Inte­gration with Audiolab 6000 Series

The 6000CDT works se­amlessly with Audiolab's 6000 series compone­nts like the 6000A integrate­d amp. Such compatibility gives a cohesive, re­sponsive audio system. Performance­ is maximized for a fantastic listening expe­rience. Even de­manding audiophiles will be satisfied with the­ breathtaking sound.
