The compact CD-7 was always very musical.
This is a custom-built one-off Gold Note supplied to me with upgrades from the top of the range Favard including its Burr Brown PCM 1792A DAC, components of its power supply including the power regulator and OP as well as the Clock.
The idea being to have a really compact CD player of superior quality.

Superb and at my cost price.
Many years ago I used to curse the overly complex 4-5 piece RCA plugs which were often referred to as ‘SME’ plugs.
I don’t know if SME made them but they were dreadful.
Often attached to arm leads the wires would shear, come loose and cause all sorts of intermittent problems.
The screen wires were trapped by a threaded portion which would soon enough break off the filaments or develop a loose connection.
To my surprise, some Chord cables use a similar design of RCA plug with a plastic outer casing.
My Chord iChord lead has been very unreliable with the centre pins sometimes sticking in the socket and the plastic body sliding off the plug (hence the ugly glue fix) and the same issues with the screen- pinching piece needing tightening and the screen coming detached.
Now, the last straw, the earth has sheared causing a rare drive-unit to be blown…
Rare 9 inch drivers with tweeter on frame in front of bass-driver dust cap.
Alnico magnets.
Not the first time I find a good co-axial driver outperforms a good full ranger. E.g. Visaton B200, Fostex etc.
Peerless did not bother replying regarding driver parameters but sensitivity seems very high – about 95db.
Original Jensen caps (which measure fine) supplied but have replaced them just in case. – see image.
Ex-dem £4295.
Hardly used.
Walnut is the best sounding version.
With B5.1 arm and dust cover.
Electronic speed control.
Class-leading sound quality and ease of use.
Will include new cartridge!
Retail for this spec. is £5445.
These images are of my original Olive wood demonstrator, not the walnut which is darker.
There has been some confusion about our status. We never traded as Audioflair Ltd. We applied to be a Ltd Co to protect the Audioflair name but it remained dormant until it was voluntarily dissolved by us in 2016. I have always been a sole trader and still am.
In good condition with instructions, leads and damping trough.
95db 8 ohm super fast 5 inch Supravox bass/mid drivers with special wooden phase plugs.
Silver inductors and top quality capacitors in outboard 1st order crossover.
Best sounding bespoke dipole tweeter ever.
Great with 300B amps and amps with fullsome bass e.g Monarchy SM 70 etc.
Retail was about £5000

E’ molto raro, come è noto, che uno specialista di Hi fi – e in genere di qualunque servizio – lasci completamente soddisfatti e non mostri pecche. Ma questo è il caso. Adrian Parsons di Audioflair ha mostrato eccezionale competenza, pazienza e raffinatezza nel mettere a punto un impianto hi end di inaudita – è il caso di dirlo – qualità, sapendo ascoltare le mie esigenze e trovando la soluzione ideale. Il tutto, incredibile a dirsi, a un costo davvero ragionevole per la qualità dei componenti, dimostrando un’onestà, correttezza e trasparenza che sembrano non avere nulla a che fare con il mondo del mero commercio ma piuttosto con quello dell’amicizia. Highly recommended!
Serviced by Arthur K. at Funk Firm with Funk Firm Achromat and acrylic armboard.
Excellent 3D depth and emotional involvement.
It has the bigger Pink Triangle power supply tested and working well.
PT00 fully tested 650 Euros without arm.
Top of the range Moving Coil with silver coils.
Amazing detail and even-handedness.

Not run-in yet – less than 50 hours.
Can be inspected.
£6200 retail.
Many balanced leads available in the HI-FI World are not – one earth pin is either not connected internally or bridged in a pseudo-balanced way. Glue-up plug barrel – Hey Presto!
