CALIFORNIA AUDIO LABS CL-15 HDCD Audio Processor

Description: IN CASE YOU DO NOT KNOW THESE UNITS CONTAIN ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDING DAC PROCESSORS ( MOST MUSICAL ) EVER MADE AT ANY PRICE ...... AND STILL TODAY ......... THIS INTERNAL DAC PROCESSOR IS STILL STATE OF THE ART TODAY! THESE UNITS HAVE AN INTERNAL VOLUME CONTROL THAT IS REMOTE CONTROLLED. Cloned remote included which controls this unit perfectly. On/Off Aux in Light Volume Up / Down THESE UNITS SOUND LIKE HEAVEN ! ***** This unit which I am selling has a non-functioning internal drive .... thus you must have an external CD Player / Transport or a computer with a 75 Ohm COAC SPDIF 44.1K and/or 48K digital out to use as a TRANSPORT / sound source. Although the internal drive does not work, you can use this remote controlled interval DAC processor ... as the sweet heart of your state of the art stereo audio system. ***** ——————— Please also note: if you own one of these CL-15’s and it is broken I can probably fix it for you. I typically charge $350 plus return shipping to repair the average non-functioning CL-15. 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. Please note: If your drive is bad ... this is something I usually can NOT fix. This is one of those units, I could not fix, with a bad internal drive. But that should not stop you. The DAC in these units is simply wonderfully amazing. Nothing on the market sounds better at any price. I truly mean that. Here is a change to get this amazing sound at a reasonable price. Just buy this unit, plug into the AUX input on the back of this unit, and use the included remote to control the volume ... with this unit you can BYPASS YOUR PREAMP! I can not say enough good things about the sound of these units. They are truly magical! ———————- 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 69 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.

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.
