Up for sale is my AUDIOLAB 7000CDT CD Transport. It works perfectly and doesn't even have any dust accumulated on it. It's in excellent condition without even a fingerprint on it. I've played maybe 10 CD's on it. Only selling as I'm upgrading to the 9000CDT. (NOTE: I have it listed as "excellent" and not "mint" due to the original box not included - there are no marks on it).(REMINDER: this is NOT a CD player, it is a CD Transport only - you will need a DAC to use with it).Check out all the hi-res photos to verify its condition.It includes the original remote, power cord and a fresh COPY of the owner's manual. The box was mistakenly discarded but it will be expertly packed and shipped in a suitable box.It has been displayed in a non-smoking, incense free, child free, pet free and cologne and perfume free home and is guaranteed to be free of any greasy fingerprints, strange odors or any other funk!Read my stellar feedback and purchase with complete confidence. It is listed elsewhere and subject to prior sale so do not hesitate as I expect it to sell quickly!Shipping cost is based on the buyer's location. The weight and dims listed are accurate: 18 pounds and 22 x 19 x 9 inches. In my experience, all online shipping calculators are grossly inaccurate - If you're ready to make it your own, please email me for an accurate shipping quote. Note that it will ship FedEx Home Delivery/Ground.
At US$699, this is above the usual used market for a US$514 median and US$607 upper quartile, so it reads as ambitious rather than a bargain.
That said, the 7000CDT has a strong reputation as a transport: solid disc handling, clean digital output, and the kind of straightforward engineering buyers like in a source component. If it’s complete, well-kept, and includes the right accessories, the premium can make sense for someone who wants a dependable current-model transport and values condition over pure spreadsheet value.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Audiolab emerged from the frustration of two Imperial College students, Philip Swift and Derek Scotland, who in 1983 founded the brand in Britain to deliver high-quality hi-fi without exorbitant prices or needless complexity. Their debut 8000A integrated amplifier swiftly became a benchmark, praised for its robust build, transparent sound, and minimalist design that prioritized musical purity over gimmicks. This origin story rooted Audiolab in a philosophy of accessible excellence, evolving from kitchen prototypes to a lineup of landmark components like the 8000S preamp, 8000T tuner, and 8000M monoblocs.
The brand focuses on core hi-fi categories, excelling in integrated and power amplifiers, preamplifiers, DACs, CD players, tuners, and phono stages, with forays into AV processors and multi-channel amps during its TAG McLaren era from 1997 to 2004. Since joining the International Audio Group in 2004, Audiolab has refined its no-nonsense aesthetic while expanding to modern streaming and digital sources, always emphasizing engineering that extracts maximum performance from any system.
Audiolab holds a solid mid-tier position in the hi-fi market, renowned among discerning buyers for exceptional value—delivering near-high-end sound quality at approachable prices. It appeals to purists seeking reliable, unadorned British engineering rather than boutique exotica or vintage collectibles, maintaining a loyal following for its enduring reputation in straightforward, music-first performance.
