Tuned Tesla MC902 CD player

This is my Tesla MC902 CD player from 1987. Basically, it's a rebadged Philips CD460 with the CDM-2/29 mechanism instead of the CDM-4/11 in the 460/560 series. My unit has been intensively modded to achieve a better sound quality. The changes: - PSU caps replaced with high quality Nichicons - TDA1541A S1 single-crown DAC chip instead of the plain TDA1541 - oversampling has been turned off - FET based output amp (bypassing the whole factory analog stage) - Gold-plated Neutrik RCA sockets on the back - dedicated extra stable +5V power supply for the DAC And the work is still in progress... Note 1: the perfboards are only temporary. A new PCB housing the DAC, it's own power supply (for all voltages, not only +5V) and the output amps is in development. Note 2: this video is not intended to show off the player's sonic capabilities, that's why I decided to swap the audio track after a while. The player's full potential can be only heard on good audio system, while listening personally.
