Angeboten wird „CDP-102“ von Classé Audio als Ausstellungsstück aus der Kategorie „CD Player“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 369150230 endet am 29.07.2026 um 06:03 Uhr.
At €2,000 for a good-condition unit, this CDP-102 undercuts the typical used market range of €2,144–€5,962 (median €2,984 from 16 recent EUR comps), making it a solid bargain over pricier Cambridge Audio or Rega spinners in the same bracket that lack its build and sonics. You're getting Classé's hallmark transparency and drive at the low end without red flags on condition.
Before biting, verify the laser assembly—common failure point after 15+ years, prone to skipping or no-read—and check for the original remote, manual, and RCA/digital outs, as missing bits tank resale. Test disc loading and output stages on-site to rule out recap needs.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Classé Audio emerged from Canada in 1979, founded by music enthusiast Mike Viglas in partnership with engineer David Reich. Frustrated by unreliable high-end electronics during a demonstration, Viglas sought superior performance, leading to the company's debut product: the DR-2, a 25-watt-per-channel Class A stereo amplifier launched in 1980. This pure Class A design not only inspired the brand's name but also established its early reputation for open, natural sound and unwavering reliability, with headquarters just outside Montréal.
The brand specializes in high-performance electronics, excelling in amplifiers, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers, and processors for both music and home theater systems. Early models set the tone for authoritative power delivery, evolving into robust units delivering 250-300 watts per channel while maintaining sonic finesse. Classé has consistently prioritized no-compromise research and manufacturing, focusing on components that deliver theater-grade dynamics and musical precision without venturing into speakers, turntables, DACs, headphones, or cables.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Classé commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its Canadian heritage and build quality, once handcrafted in Quebec. Acquired by the B&W Group in 2001 and later by Sound United in 2018, it remains a benchmark for reliable, powerful electronics that prioritize longevity and uncolored reproduction, appealing to buyers seeking investment-grade hi-fi.
