From 2002, this is a great sounding feature rich
model. Includes remote control, but original box, packing, and manual
are not included.
Top cabinet has seen some use, but rest is in nice condition and works great! For specs, see last pix.
When Musical Fidelity launched this CD-Pre 24, many described it as
evolutionary and revolutionary. There were CD player/DAC models or
DAC/preamp but never CD player, DAC and preamp all rolled into one. The
preamp section was not even a digital preamp but an analog preamp where
you can hook up to three analog gears. With so many features all rolled
into one, the common expectation was that one of its feature will be its
weak linked. But not so for this Musical Fidelity piece. It was
exemplary as a CD player, as a DAC and as a preamp. Either one feature
would have fully justified its original $3,000 (!) asking price but to
have all of it at the same asking price, it was a bargain. Built quality
wasn’t too far off from the more expensive Nu-Vista range and neither
was its sound quality. At this price, its a steal just as a preamp or CD
player alone. The DAC section is an added bonus.
"Quirky, unique, and oh so handy for the home-recording enthusiast,
the Musical Fidelity CD-Pre24 packs versatility, flexibility, and
first-class sound into an attractive, reasonably compact, extremely
well-built package. And considering that its CD performance comes
surprisingly close to the Nu-Vista 3D's and it costs $2500 less, think
of the CD-Pre24's preamp, DAC, digital switching, and tape loop as
premium freebies." - Stereophile
