Philips CD473
Added in 2012 after the extensive review was written – not included in overall comparisons
1988. New around 400 euro. CDM-4/11 (“composite” read plastic) transport, TDA1541 DAC. Like the CD624, this one is almost 100% plastic. You got to admire the extent to which the manufacturer goes in order to keep the price low, while maintaining what is basically a fine sound. The CD473 isn’t the best Philips there was, but it doesn’t sound as synthetic as the CD150 did. Like all swing-arm/TDA1541 equipped players, it sounds full and smooth in the bass, creamy in the midrange and fluid in treble. Yet it is a bit fat and full and lacks the CD94MKII’s precision and refinement and the CD84’s unbridled enthusiasm. Not the best, but not bad at all.
飛利蒲CD473
1988年面世約400歐元。解讀光頭為 CDM-4 / 11,解碼晶片用TDA1541 DAC。 像CD624一樣,全機採用大量塑料,但你將佩服製造商保持優良音質又同時維持低廉價格。 CD473雖然不是飛利浦最好的,但像所有配備了搖擺臂的TDA1541的CD播放器一樣,低音飽滿而流暢,中音彷似奶油般柔滑,高音清翠悅耳。 它似乎欠缺CD94MKII的精確性戓CD84的熱情,雖然不是最好的一部,但絕不失禮。
