Description

Description Freakuence!
One of the most appreciated running gear. Used with great frequency today in reviews or demonstrations. It plays very spacious and big, and is extremely stable. Yes, drives have a huge impact on playback. These differ of the same order as with dacs; though few are aware of this. Be aware and come prepared!

Damages, please see photos!

Background information
The C.E.C. TL5 is designed with their renowned belt-drive technology, which applies turntable principles to CD playback for minimal vibration and jitter. The chassis is solid and low-resonance construction, with an aluminum front and reinforced internal structure. The drive components are made in Japan. The philosophy behind the design is pure signal transmission without noise, developed by a small specialized team within C.E.C.
Brand history
C.E.C. (Chuo Denki Co., Ltd.) was founded in 1954 in Tokyo, Japan. The company began producing phonographs, followed by the development of electric record players. In 1991, C.E.C. introduced its first belt-drive CD player, the TL1. This player used a drive system that combined elements of conventional analog turntables with digital CD technology. The manufacturer also developed its own digital interface, the Superlink digital link. C.E.C. produces devices in-house, including CD drives, DA converters and amplifiers. Production and assembly take place in Japan, with parts manufactured in-house or specifically selected. The company uses a modular design approach in which components are interchangeable within certain product lines.

CD

De Compact Disc (CD) kwam zoals de meeste uitvindingen niet uit de lucht vallen. Na de uitvinding van de laser in 1958 werd in 1961 het eerste octrooi voor optisch leesbare schijven ingediend. In 1972 werden de eerste digitale videoplaten geïntroduceerd. Na een flop van Philips kwam de fabrikant in 1979 samen met Sony met de eerste cd, wat erop stond weten wij niet maar in 1982 kwam de eerste cd voor de markt uit, het was het album Visitors van ABBA. In dit jaar kwam de eerste speler beschikbaar en zo begon de verdrijving van de lp uit de markt. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen. Heb je cd’s, geniet er vooral nog eens van, ze hebben immers geen oneindige levensduur.

CD

The Compact Disc (CD), like most inventions, did not appear out of thin air. After the invention of the laser in 1958, the first patent for optically readable disks was filed in 1961. The first digital video records were introduced in 1972. After a flop by Philips, the manufacturer, together with Sony, released the first CD in 1979. We do not know what it contained, but in 1982 the first CD was released for the market, it was the album Visitors by ABBA. In this year the first player became available and so began the elimination of the LP from the market. Many have literally thrown their LPs in the trash… we still see some visitors being disappointed when they tell us this. Velen hebben hun lp’s letterlijk bij het vuil gezet… sommige bezoekers zien wij nog steeds balen als ze dit vertellen.
