This ad is not for a CL-15 CD Player.

It is an ad for me to SERVICE your CD player if it is no longer working or no longer working properly or you just want me to do preventative maintenance.

I am NOT a formal repair business but I know a huge amount about these CD Players and have been able to fix every one that I have ever gotten that was broken or not functioning properly.

I am sure there are some out there that I can not fix - but I have not encountered one.

You must send me your unit “ well packed “ at your expense.

This ad covers my service and return shipping.

Please contact me after purchasing this auction but prior to shipping your unit to me as I have very specific instructions having to do with your packing prior to your shipping your unit to me.

ONCE I GET IT I WILL DO THE FOLLOWING:

ALL TITANIUM CAPS REPLACED.

POWER SUPPLY SERVICED

TRANSPORT SERVICED

ALL INTERNAL VARIABLES SET BY COMPUTER

ALL UNITS ARE RETURNED WITH A COPY OF THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE ( complete with manual & cable ) USED TO PROGRAM AND CONTROL THIS CD PLAYER ( a $100+ value ) and a copy of the entire original users manual ( a $25 value).

—————-

IN CASE YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE ARE ONE OF THE BEST CD PLAYER / PROCESSORS EVER MADE ...... AND STILL TODAY ......... THEY ARE STATE OF THE ART

THESE UNITS SOUND LIKE HEAVEN !

———————

Please also note: if you own one of these CL-15’s and it is broken I can fix it for you.

I typically charge $350 plus return shipping.

So if you own one of these and it needs repair I am your guy.

Once I fix it it should be good for another 15 years.

Hello all.

I am Michael A. Marks.

I am a Medical Doctor who has an addiction to high end Audio Equipment.

I have more equipment than I can possibly use so I am trying to unload a few choice items.

I love Infinity, Krell, Jeff Rowland, Yamaha, Marantz, Velodyne, and Wadia Equipment but I also have some other items that I routinely try to keep in stock as I find I have a need for many of these items from time to time.

I am a great resource and love to share my knowledge with those in need.

I am now 68 years old and have been building Hi Fi Speakers and occasionally other types of Audio Equipment since I was 15 years old.

I have many other E-bay auctions running now, so I encourage you to please see many of my other great items.

I am not a store, I am just an avid collector with a disease.

I know there are other individuals like me out there, as I have met many of them over the years.

None are more serious than me.

I repair all types of speakers, although I do not do it for a living, I do it as a hobby.

Many of the speakers I repair I do so because no one else out there is willing to repair them.

So search my other auctions and get in touch with me if you need to, I am here for you.

Buyer agrees to pay the actual shipping cost, not the estimated E-bay cost, which I find is usually high anyway.

Please do not ask me to estimate the actual shipping cost, as your guess and E-bay's guess is as good as mine, I just find when push comes to shove, I can usually ship cheaper than E-bay suggests. If the E-bay estimate is HIGH please do not worry, I will gladly refund any shipping overpayment if asked.  Also I do not make money on shipping.  I charge the same or less for shipping than anyone else.  So if you see a high shipping charge, just ignore it and we will work out the shipping details upon shipping. I double box all items.  I ship worldwide.  I usually use FED EX GROUND in the USA and the US Postal Service for OVERSEAS.  For large items in the USA I try to use U-SHIP and overseas CAROTRANS.

Shipping of course includes insurance to protect your investment during shipping.

NOW FOR THIS AUCTION:

California Audio Labs CL-15 HDCD Player / Audio Processor 

With Remote Control

$1695 new without software.

This CD Player can interface with your computer and the software ( which is rarely available ) is included.

All manuals included both for the CD Player / Processor and the Software.

The CD Player uses a state of the art 20 Bit Pacific Microsonics HDCD Processor

It will operate at both 44 KHz and 48 KHz.

The unit contains a DIGITAL INPUT and REMOTE CONTROLLED INTERNAL PREAMP with VOLUME.

You do not need a preamp to connect this unit up to your stereo.

All you need is this CD Player / Processor, an amp and a set of speakers.

This unit includes a state of the art internal remote controlled preamp.

The preamp has a digital input so you can use the internal digital processor to decode your other sources.

You can also get a SONY or YAMAHA Analog to Digital Converter from me ( available in some of my other E-bay auctions ) to connect up you other components without digital outputs.

For instance you can take your current preamp and connect it to the SONY PCM 601ESD Analog to Digital Converter and then connect the converter to the Digital Input of this CD Player and use it as a digital preamp for your entire system.

It sounds amazing.

I also have several other DIGITAL SWITCHING UNITS available ( just contact me for details ) and with these unit and this CD Player / Processor you can develop a complete state of the art DIGITAL PREAMP with MULTIPLE INPUTS to control your entire system.

This unit can truly be the heart of a current state of the art system.

No fooling.

This is truly one of the best made and best sounding CD Player Processor ever made.

No matter what you spend, no matter when you buy your system, this CD Player / Processor remains state of the are, even to this day.

That is how well it is made and how far ahead of it's time, it was made.

If you think my price is too high, that is O.K. jut get off your butt and make me an offer.

I am likely the most honest person in the world.

I try not to screw anyone.

I practice the Golden Rule and so should you. 

If you have any questions please ask.

Again, I am very honest, and also easy to get ahold of, so see my contact information above.

Again, all sales are final.

Prices are going up to reflect E-bay and Paypal Charges.

These charges have to be paid and thus have to be included in the purchase price of the item.

I do not take returns because I am not a store and I have no way to deal with returns.

Also I have found over the years that people try to return the exact same item not purchased from me when their items fail.

So to prevent being ripped off I can no longer take returns.

It is the few dishonest people out there amount you, that eventually forced me to adopt this no return no refund policy.

All items I test prior to shipping and should function correctly unless described otherwise.
