The CDM-9 Pro is no longer available and was the finest transport for redbook ever made.
It was used in the famous Krell KPS 20i(one of the 5 best cd players ever made according to trade publications)
The CDM-9 PRO used the smallest error correction circuit of all of them.
The CDM-9 liked a clean disc and could track with incredible ease and let you hear what was there without substituting false info.
The unit was too expensive for Philips to continue to make so they came out with the plastic housed drives and caused an uproar with manufacturers which made many have to discontinue or completely redesign product.
I have a Krell KPS 20I and purchased an extra 9 PRO before they vanished and it is priceless to me, as to this day the unit is still the best sounding unit I have ever heard.
I would suggest much caution in buying any unit that uses a 9-PRO unless the seller could provide you with a back-up 9-PRO,because if it goes than you have nothing but a parts unit for someone like me and NO ONE and I mean NO ONE has any replacement 9 PRO drives anymore.
