In 1982, the CD revolution polarized the audiophile world into digital and
analog advocates. The Cyrus R&D team didn't see this as a polarised
choice, but rather as a fresh opportunity to embrace a new technology and
immediately set to work on pioneering the world's first audiophile CD
players. These first good-sounding players evolved through continuing
improvement into Cyrus' latest generation designs, the CD-6 and CD 8
players--players that garnered rave reviews and multiple awards from the
best of the British audiophile journals. The already excellent -6 and -8
have just undergone a major upgrade to the Servo Evolution (SE) series,
incorporating an inhouse-designed, slot-loading CD transport that greatly
reduces data errors and jitter--resulting in much smoother, more
grain-free treble, captivating transparency, and even punchier, better
articulated bass than before.
