Quality engineering, without compromise
The 6000CDT uses the same ultra-smooth slot-loading mechanism as the multi-award-winning, and much more expensive, Audiolab 8300CD.
Faster and smoother
A silky-smooth motor is used to assist disc insertion and removal. Not just a luxury, it also offers increased disc stability and reduced susceptibility to resonance, thus further contributing to the 6000CDT’s outstanding playback performance.
Performance by design
By mounting the transport in its own, electromagnetically shielded enclosure, and providing it with a dedicated power supply, the digital signal extraction from any CD is as accurate and precise as it is possible to achieve.
Robust and reliable
The 6000CDT transport uses read-ahead digital buffering to reduce reading failures and guarantee a seamless playback Accurate and precise. The digital clock is controlled by a temperature-compensated crystal oscillator that makes sure the digital output from both the coaxial and optical sockets has minimum jitter

Smooth and transparent sound. I had no idea that a dedicated CD transport could make a major difference in sound quality. I have a large collection of over 8000 CDs and this transport has convinced me of the sound quality of CDs. Overall an excellent value for money buy.

I was amazed by the difference that this CD transport made. There was a huge improvement in the clarity and depth of the sound. The Audiolab 6000CDT is easily worth its price to anyone with a CD collection.

This CD Transport is an unbelievable device! Plus, my system has never sounded better.
Just buy it and you won’t be disappointed.

This is why I hung onto my CD collection for so long! I didn’t know then that I would be buying the Audiolab 6000CDT but it was so worth the wait. As soon as I got it, I started playing my favourite albums one after another and they all sounded better than they have ever sounded before.
Thanks to Anil, I also got the Audiolab 6000A integrated amp and the Wharfedale Linton speakers. They’re all a match made in heaven. The transparency, clarity and reproduction through this source, coupled with the rest of the signal chain gives the kind of scale and grandeur the music deserves. I am specifically talking about Pink Floyd’s Pulse. It just blew me away!
If you are looking for a CD transport to go with your system, go with this. You won’t regret it.

I’ve been living with the Audiolab 6000cdt transport for about a month now. Haven’t had this much fun and pure pleasure with a piece of gear in quite a number of years! Been running it in for about three weeks straight 24/7 and I have to say this is the best buy!

Not only is this a great CD player, but it is a music lover’s dream. It has a slot-loading mechanism that is not only smooth but also precise, which is great for any audiophile out there. With this player, you will never have to worry about pops, skips, or any other music ruining problems. The sound quality is also outstanding, and it is great for people who enjoy high-quality music.
