NEW MODEL WITH 5 STAR REVIEW IN JULY'S WHAT HI FI
Gramophone " Audio Choice 2000"
S2000MC REFERENCE 24 BIT CD PLAYER
The new Reference CD player is a completely new design and reflects our policy of ultimate sound quality with longevity, serviceability and where possible upgrade ability.
Each section is on its own PCB which can be individually replaced with later and better technology if and when it appears.
Although a proprietary loader mechanism is used, all its attendant circuitry is pure AVI and has more powerful and better controlled servos for the laser sled. the result is more accurate tracking for longer, a machine that will last longer between service intervals and last longer overall. And when transport replacement becomes necessary (after many years) because this sub assembly is on its own sub chassis, it may be possible to fit a later and improved transport, thus protecting your investment for even longer.
The price of DACs has fallen dramatically whilst the sound quality has improved and this is reflected in our new lower priced machine. However we have given the new 24 bit DAC its own PCB so that , if a new and better one comes along, this being the best available at the moment, it can be offered as an upgrade. AVI has also added additional filtering of its own design to reduce out of band spuriae that can upset some power amplifiers.
The machine is controlled by an AVI programmed microprocessor which gives us additional flexibility. Not only can new models be easily upgraded but old ones as well. We also have special diagnostic microprocessors which can be used by the service department to interrogate the system and diagnose faults.

To sum up, this new machine has the best sound quality CD can offer (we can be sure of this because we were able to compare demonstration boards from all the major DAC manufacturers), improved serviceability, upgrade ability and longevity and it costs 70% of the price of the machine it replaces.
