In April 2020, while including the Arcam Alpha 7SE CD Player in its Hall of Fame, What Hi-Fi said: "We think the 7SE was the brand’s crowning achievement (...) The sonic presentation was authoritative, refined but packed a good dose of dynamics. The 7SE uncovered an impressive amount of detail too, and organised it well, delivering a wonderfully entertaining sound."
This performance isn’t just theoretical. The sound quality just leaps out of the speakers into the room, especially with well-recorded, mixed and mastered CD’s. One prime example is Tracy Chapman’s remastered track “Baby Can I Hold You”, which played via this Aplha 7SE, NAD preamplifier, Bryston 4B-ST power amp and KEF Q55 speakers, comes damn close to bringing this old hardboiled engineer to tears.
Talking about tears, it is actually quite tragic I haven’t been able to use this gem of a CD Player – almost at all ever since I bought it … hence the mint condition. Bringing up a son through school, then college, two cats, our own work …
And now, living in Midtown Manhattan, I just don’t have the space to keep or display CDs. Hence the move to FLAC … and to saying goodbye to this beauty. It’s in amazing condition (even the protective plastic film on the display is still intact), and works like a dream. I hope it finds a good home.
