Reviews[edit]
- The Philips CD-960 is largely identical in construction to the Marantz CD-94, CD-95, CD-99, CD-12, the Philips LHH-1000, the Micro Seiki CD-M2, CD-M100, CD-M2000X, and the Wadia WT-3200, and ran off the assembly lines of the Marantz manufacturing facilities in Japan along with them.
The CD-960 is the most expensive CD player ever sold by Philips. The massive chassis is made of die-cast zinc, the power supply is more likely to be found in a mid-range integrated amplifier today, and two icons tower above it all - the indestructible Philips CDM1 turntable, also made of die-cast zinc and with glass lenses by Rodenstock, and probably the most musical digital/analogue converter ever, the Philips TDA1541.
