Description: Jadis JD1 Drive CD Transport with Power Supply - The Last One! SkyFi Audio - Curators of Vintage Audio GearSkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of high end audio equipment. We only buy equipment that we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk. Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold. We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units.Through our sister company, which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Project, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support.----------We had the good fortune to come across three of these remarkable and gorgeous statement piece CD transports. Two sold quickly and this is the last of the bunch. Handmade in France. Amazing build quality and exotic looks. Feels and weighs as if it were made out of solid block. Considered to be one of the best Redbook CD drives (transports) ever made. A retail price sheet indicates this cost $19,000 in 1996 which is over $30k in today's dollars. Features Include:• Hand operated top loading door• Magnetic CD Puck• Designed in two suspended pieces • Digital Only Outputs: RCA & BNC SPDIF, Glass (ST), and Balanced AES/EBU• Remote and manual are included• Original high quality shipping box will all packing materials. This piece came to us from a deceased collector and extreme audiophile that was in the process of assembling a very complex reference Jadis system comprised of over 20 components. This is in near perfect-condition, fully tested, and lightly used. Super bright display, very responsive controls, quick access to tracks. To build a unit of this quality would cost over $30k today. ----------PURCHASING GUIDELINES:1) This item will be professionally packaged and insured for safe transit to your home unless you opt for local pickup from our shop.
