Audiolab 6000 CDT CD Transport in silver finish. In 99.9% perfect condition with all original packaging and remote control. Full working order. Highly regarded CD transport.
This is a well-regarded disc transport in Audiolab’s lineup, and £300 lands it right on the market’s median £297, so the asking price is fair rather than a steal. It’s also comfortably inside the normal spread, sitting between the £258 lower quartile and £384 upper quartile, which makes it a sensible buy if you want one now.
The appeal here is straightforward: the 6000CDT is prized for solid build, reliable disc handling, and as a clean transport partner for a DAC-based system, where its job is to read discs accurately and get out of the way. An excellent-condition example is the right sort of listing to chase, especially if it includes the original box, remote, and proof it’s been well cared for; at this price, that kind of completeness makes it an easy recommendation.
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.
