Description from the seller

Marantz CD-63 MKII KI Signature - (Ken Ishiwata Edition) - Mint Condition - With Remote


​Introduction:

Up for auction is a legendary piece of Hi-Fi history: the Marantz CD-63 MKII KI Signature. This is not the standard CD-63, but the highly sought-after version personally refined by the late sound maestro Ken Ishiwata. It remains one of the most musical and "analog-sounding" CD players ever produced.

​Condition & Provenance:

This unit is in impeccable (mint) condition, both aesthetically and technically. It has been meticulously cared for in a smoke-free, pet-free environment. As seen in the photos, the interior is pristine, showcasing the hallmark of the KI Signature series: the full copper-plated chassis and the high-grade toroidal transformer.
Technical Highlights:

​Copper-Plated Chassis: Designed to eliminate EMI and RFI interference for a cleaner signal.

​Toroidal Transformer: Provides high-current, low-noise power for superior dynamics.

​HDAM Modules: Marantz's proprietary Hyper Dynamic Amplifier Modules for a warm, detailed soundstage.

​Unmodified: The unit is 100% original, maintaining its factory-spec components (high-quality Silmic/Cerafine capacitors), which is a rarity for collectors today.

​Performance:

The player is in perfect working order. It reads discs (including high-quality CD-Rs) instantly and tracks flawlessly. The display is bright and clear, with no fading.

​Included in the Sale:

​Marantz CD-63 MKII KI Signature Player.

​Original Marantz Remote Control (fully functional).

​Power cable.

​Shipping:

The player will be packed with professional care using "double-box" technique and high-density foam to ensure it arrives safely anywhere in Europe. Shipped via insured courier with tracking.
