We are currently working on upgrades for the following
products; These products already offer exceptional value and very well
built. Our customers have been so impressed with these products that they
continue to contact us asking if we can take them even further.
Please note that we are not a reseller for these products
and they would have to be purchased from Pacific Valve and sent to us for
the upgrades. If you already own either the MHZS CD 88 or BADA DC 222 and
would like to be the first to send it in for us to develop the upgrades, we
will accommodate you with "beta" pricing (this is how the MHZS CD66E ended
up on our benches). This special pricing good only for the first person to
step up to the plate.

MHZS
CD 88 - Coming Soon
The MHZS
CD 88 is the answer to audiophiles who still yearn for the sound of vinyl
but enjoy the convenience of CDs. The 4 vacuum tube technology blends the
warmth of classic tube sound with the benefits of cutting-edge circuitry.
MHZS CD 88 uses two 12AX7s for
signal processing, a 6Z4 and WY2 tube for rectification. Along with the CD
33, and the CD 66, the MHZS uses its own chip design, which allows for
filtering, conversion and upsampling in one single chip. This greatly
contributes to the unmistakable sound of this CD player. The special low
pass filter contributes to the pure and natural tonal quality that breathes
new life into every CD. Selecting the upsampling frequencies on these
players allows you to change the characteristics of the digital filter The
fully balanced design with high-quality XLR-type connections takes maximum
advantage of the MHZS’s impressive audio capabilities.
