Lector CDP 707 Valve CD Player with PSU 7T Secondhand unit with light use only excellent condition, 24 UK month guarantee with manual, packaging and remote.
The £4,000 asking price is ambitious against the local used market: it sits well above the £2,353 median and slightly above the £2,531 75th percentile for recent GBP comparables. That does not make it absurd for a well-sorted example, but it is priced at the top end, so the value case depends on condition and completeness rather than price alone.
What keeps this interesting is that this is a respected valve-output player with an outboard PSU, a combination people buy for its big, fluid, musically involving presentation rather than spec-sheet bragging rights. With the PSU 7T included and the condition described as good, it’s the sort of deck that can be a satisfying long-term listen if the laser, transport, and tube section are healthy. At this money, make sure the remote, packaging, and service history are all there.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Lector Audio is an Italian manufacturer based in Lombardy that has been pioneering hybrid tube technology since 1982. The company represents a distinctly European approach to high-end audio design, combining vacuum tube circuits with solid-state components in ways that go beyond simple topology—their tube stages are fully integrated designs rather than afterthoughts bolted onto conventional transistor outputs. This commitment to thoughtful engineering has established Lector as a serious player in the boutique audio market.
The brand specializes in tube-based CD players, tube preamplifiers, phono preamps, hybrid power amplifiers, and digital-to-analog converters. Their CD player lineup, including models like the CDP-707 and CDP-603, has earned recognition among discerning collectors and audiophiles. Lector distinguishes itself through proprietary circuit development, including custom S/PDIF reconstruction technology and USB-to-S/PDIF conversion boards designed in-house rather than relying on off-the-shelf solutions.
Lector occupies the high-end boutique segment, appealing to experienced listeners who value meticulous craftsmanship and sonic musicality over mass-market accessibility. The company's relatively low production volume, Italian heritage, and focus on tube-hybrid designs position it as a niche manufacturer for collectors and enthusiasts seeking alternatives to larger audio corporations. Their reputation centers on balanced, dynamic sound reproduction and the kind of devoted engineering that has become increasingly rare in modern audio manufacturing.
