From HK brochure:
"For 35 years Harman Kardon has represented the highest standards of sonic excellence.
Our long experience in designing high resolution circuitry, including such Harman Kardon innovations as Low Negative Feedback, Ultrawide bandwidth and High Current Capability, uniquely qualifies us to bring high performance to the demanding Compact Disc format.
Although recognized as a true breakthrough, most experts agree that that CD technology has not fully translated into increased musical performance.
Two aspects of conventional CD player design are responsible for this:
Integrated circuits (IC's) in the analog section and excessively steep analog filters.
While desirable from a pure cost consideration, analog IC's have very narrow bandwidth and require huge amounts of negative feedback, which creates, among other things, the TIM (Transient Intermodulation Distortion), responsible for the harsh, metallic sound that is a common complaint of the CD format.
The other widely recognized criticism of the CD format is the lack of spatial perspective (depth) in the sound field. This is the result of the very steep filters (typically 60dB/octave or more) required in conventional CD circuit design.
Harman Kardon both addresses and solves these problems in the HD200, HD400 and HD800.
Our analog section is constructed entirely of precision discrete components (no IC's) and has Ultrawide-bandwidth of 0 - 250,000 Hz and zero negative feedback.
The result is the clear, clean, stunning musical realism lacking in other CD players.

I will ship in Canada if paid by Interac e-transfer, packed nicely with PP foam/styrofoam, insured and tracked.
Shipping costs: $29 ON/QC; $39 to Alberta, $43 to BC.
Pickup or shipping only, no deliveries.
I've been collecting vintage stereos for a long time, so trade-ins, old receiver, amplifier, CD player, speakers, EQ, tape deck, turntable in any condition will be considered.
