Vitus Audio SCD-010 - UVP: 16,980€, 26kg monster, only 30h !

26kg monster with Philips CD-Pro2 drive, variable analog outputs and digital inputs.

Very analog-like sounding CDP, on the warmer side of neutrality.

Vitus previous Top-of-the-Line CD Player. The successor - SCD-025, which shares same basic design with some improvements, retails for a whooping €26500.

A true time capsule piece with less than 30 hours (yes, thirty hours of play time!!!). Comes from a system that sat unused since 2014.

"The Vitus Audio SCD-010 CD Player surprised me. If anyone were to tell me that this entirely-solid-state CD player was tube-based, I’d have believed him. (...)

This player caressed female vocal like no others. It was the most seductive I have ever heard from Stacey Kent from a compilation of her songs (Stacey Kent - Collection). Her voice was in turn sultry, creamy and yet powerful, her performance was dripping with emotion. There was an inner glow to her voice that just pulled the listener’s attention in. I bet everyone who heard this can’t but fall in love with it immediately. (...)

The SCD-010 sounded totally in control all the time even as it tackled complexity, speed and dynamics. It did them pretty well, though in this regard I think some other players could out-slam the SCD-010, especially some high-enders from the US of A. However, I am pretty certain they could not match the Vitus’ beguiling charm.

The Vitus SCD-010 came across as peerless with vocal, acoustic music and small scale ensembles. It has a very natural, very analogue and rich sound, not unlike the kind we attribute to tube gear. With the Vitus SCD-010, you’ll listen more with your heart rather than your head.

This CD player has a musical soul."

One owner unit. Used (or should I say - UNUSED) in a dedicated smoke, animal, and kids free dedicated listening room with no sunlight (which is why it still looks factory fresh - there was no sunlight, so no UV, which is #1 aging process agent). Bought in 2013, which was just before the SCD-025 was introduced - the remote that comes with the unit already says SCD-025 on the display, instead of SCD-010.

Comes with all original boxes and remote.
