MP-T201 Mk.II CD transport

Improving on the quality of the transport used in our SCD-025 Mk.II proved to be a difficult task. A dramatic new approach was required to define a new reference standard for CD transports. We use the same modified Philips CD Pro 2 LF as found in the SCD-025 Mk.II, but for the Masterpiece Series we go a step further with even more detailed mechanical and electrical modifications resulting in a highly precise drive.

Description

The quest for precision

Improving on the quality of the transport used in our SCD-025 Mk.II proved to be a difficult task. A dramatic new approach was required to define a new reference standard for CD transports. We use the same modified Philips CD Pro 2 LF as found in the SCD-025 Mk.II, but for the Masterpiece Series we go a step further with even more detailed mechanical and electrical modifications resulting in a highly precise drive.

This, coupled with the master clock and sample rate modules from the SCD-025 Mk.II results in even greater precision for the drive and minimal jitter within the transport itself.

Extreme quality

The power supply has an extreme level of regulation and power. This results in previously unheard of stability and an ultra-low noise floor. The digital output from the MP-T201 Mk.II has a staggering signal to noise ratio of over 115dB.

With this Masterpiece component, we take CD audio reproduction to its absolute limits. Experience your recordings exactly as they were intended to be heard.

Finishing

The MP-T201 Mk.II comes in Jet Black or Warm Silver as standard. Titanium Orange, Dark Champagne and Titanium Grey are our most popular unique finishes.
