BLUENOTE Stibbert Tube

The 2007 edition of Stibbert Tube is the latest release of the Bluenote most acclaimed CD Player.
Actually it is the only CD Player on the market made with a double chassis completely isolated through 4 conical springs. The main plinth of the Stibbert Tube chassis is made of a 20mm thick black acrylic shaped like the Ferrari Formula 1 © steering wheel, as Bluenote's best analogue turntables. Such a special curved shape enormously increases the structural rigidity of the design, virtually eliminating any vibration feedback.
The transport mechanism is of the drawer type and is designed to achieve the disc rotation stability at its best.
The Stibbert Tube also features the best Bluenote digital technology using the newest output proprietary output filter “Zero-Clock ™” and the voltage power supply system “Electro-Power ™”.
The latest release of the Zero-Clock ™ is been completely redesign to achieve the highest performance killing the Jitter and the Clock error but also introducing a new more sophisticated output digital filter.
The new Electro-Power ™ voltage power supply system offers an innovative current generator clean up the signal going to the analog section for superior sonic performance.
As tradition even the new Electro-Power ™ guarantees to control the pick-up laser and mechanic motors for a perfect disc rotation stability, getting a total speed fluctuation lower than an outstanding 0.0001%.
The higher standard self-adjusting properties of the new Electro-Power ™ enables absolutely stable micro and macro voltages to guarantee a precise super smooth voltage in all electrical local digital and analog audio signal paths.
The Electro-Power ™ also galvanically shields the CD Player to guarantee the best sound performance available.
The new Stibbert Tube chassis is made of a high density steel alloy treated with a diamagnetic black polyvinyl paint. The mass of the chassis is three times higher than before enabling higher bass resolution. The new chassis design allows an easy tube changing and better controlled grounding path.
The Stibbert Tube features a new sophisticated tube analog output stage based on two 6922 tubes. Such new output stage is a true symmetrical balanced tube design no-matching any transistor or j-fet in order to get the highest sonic performance.
The use of the superior-class components such as MFCap capacitors and Sfernice no-inductive resistors redefine new standards in the digital players world market.
