Query on ARCAM - CD73 CD PLAYER

[CryptBala]

Hi Guys,

I have never used a AMP or CD player with Valve. When i see the inside of ARcaM CD73 there are few Valve in it.. since i haven't used valve based equipments at all my question is do I need to replace the valve after certain amount of time ? if so are they expensive and how about the availability also do they generate lot of heat ? will they start immediately or should i have to wait until the valve is heated ? Also for 40K is it worth buying Arcam or should i just stick around with marantz CD6004 ?

Stick with your present CD player and save your money for a good DAC in future.

I dont think there are any valves in the Arcam CD73

@jai1611 Even i thought like that in the beginning. .

Take a look at THis...

That's a modded player. The stock one has no valves

 

[alankar1977]

There are no valves in any arcam equipment.

Bala, Yep, the CD player does not have tubes/valves.

As far as tube/valve equipment, dont worry about replacing the tubes too much. You can use for a long time before requiring new ones.
Instead of a tube based cdp, why dont you look at a tube based dac like the ones from MHDT?

 

[CryptBala]

MHDT DAC ? are they available in India ? what is the cost. ?
