Originally introduced by Marantz in 1997, this CD player features a proprietary KAB (Kink Accelerating Boron) flexible printed circuit board, a unique stabilization system for the 48V power supply, and a zero tolerance analog output stage. The CD4000 uses a Philips horizontal-scanning laser pickup and a precise mineral-oiled glass-coated mechanism for excellent reliability and precision playback. Its design also includes gold-plated contacts, a separate servo loop for each channel, and a single high-stability crystal oscillator for exceptional tachometer accuracy.
