Alphason Posted November 3, 2021 Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Further information: I have for sale my Bel Canto CD2-CD Player, VB-3.5 DAC, VBS-1 Power Supply. This system was recommended to me by an audiophile who I trust and respect. This is a virtually unbeatable combination which includes the Bel Canto DAC 3.5VB, the Bel Canto CD2 CD Player (with the Phillips CDPro2LF CD reader) and the highly regarded Bel Canto VBS-1 Power Supply (as opposed to the less expensive and single component powering LNS1). The CD player and the DAC both operate from the single virtual battery supply and the VBS-1 is also able to power a third component. The DAC has a defeat-able volume control so if you have a digital front end only, it can be used as a pre-amp. I purchased the VBS-1 and DAC 3.5VB only three years ago from a dealer as new old stock, the CD2 was purchased at the same time and was the dealers demo unit. All three items present as new, there are no marks or scratches anywhere on them. During ownereship I had a home renovation which lasted eight months and an overseas trip for a further two months, during which this system was in storage. I am a vinyl guy so this setup has probably only had a couple of hundred hours use. The sound of this combination is exceptional, so quiet and detailed that it just takes me aback whenever I turn it on. I think that this is attributable to the Virtual Battery Supply, read more about it here: https://hometheaterhifi.com/press-releases/bel-canto-unveil-the-vbs-the-virtual-battery-supply/ This was meant to be my last CD player, but you know how it is! There are lots of positive reviews online about this combination. My asking price is about one third of the original recommended retail price and much less than the current replacements. The components present as new. Reviews: https://6moons.com/audioreviews/belcanto/cd2.html https://www.stereophile.com/content/bel-canto-eone-dac35vb-da-converter http://stereotimes.com/CD022212.shtml https://hometheaterhifi.com/press-releases/bel-canto-unveil-the-vbs-the-virtual-battery-supply/ I will separate these components if there is sufficient individual interest in all three items. Interconnects are not included, the two umbilical power cords which connect both the DAC and CD Player to the VBS-1 power supply are included. The components include instructions (except for the CD-2). I have the original double box packaging, so shipping is not out of the question at the purchasers expense. There are two original Bel Canto remote controls, one of them unused. There are two power supplies which can be used instead of the VBS-1. Photos: Edited November 3, 2021 by Alphason 1
