FOR SALE- DENSEN B-440XS CD PLAYER- £1595
“I have always felt that in an ideal world, I would have a machine for each type of music…Well the B-400 XS went a long way to satisfying all of my musical tastes. ”
“Using it on a day to day basis, I was constantly struck by how engaging it was, regardless of material. The top end was smooth and sweet, plenty of openness and detail, and while being somewhat more forward and having extra bite than the Meridian, though it was never in your face or oppressive.”
“Strings had a very natural feel to them, and while sounding delicate where required there was an agility that endowed the music with more vitality than I had previously heard. The Bartok string quarters sounded a little more alive, more believable, and more dynamic, while the sultry opening of the first quartet was exactly that, a little dark and full of misgiving. But as it progresses, the music begins to lift and soar, and the change of temperament was well conveyed by the Densen”
“the first Jeff Buckley album stands out as being memorable, the drums and percussion were awesome in their dynamics and impact. There was such a sense of coherence and solidity that made music really enjoyable, and much as I hate to say it, more analogue in its presentation, which can only be a good thing.”
“The Densen is a cake – and eat it product – it has sophisticated refinement alongside the dynamic and rhythmic capabilities that allow me to enjoy the wide range of music that I listen to. It has all too easily become ignorable as a piece of hi-fi equipment. Unfortunately its performance is going to be sorely missed.” – Reviewed by CHRIS BINNS at HI FI PLUS.

Hello, what is the finish of the buttons, gold or silver?
What is the serial number?
Do you accept pre-owned items as part of payment?
Hi there,
The finish of the buttons is gold. We don’t accept trade-ins on second hand equipment I’m afraid.
Cheers
Hi I am interested in the cd player to pair with my b100. Could you please give me more info on the condition including age and amount of use etc.
Thanks

Hi David
Thanks for your fast reply, sorry to hear the 420xs is gone, but I am sure it has a happy new owner.
I am writing you here , because my mailbox receives, but does not send.
Thank you also for the offer on the 440xs, it sounds like a very good offer on your part.
Did you sell the 440xs as new ? It says on your list that it is 6 years old, do you know what upgrades have been done to the current vintage ?
You write that the buttons on the front are silver, on the q&a on the list Sophie write that they are gold ? It is not a deal breaker to me.
I asume technically the player is in as new condition, everything is tested and works. Does it have a service history ? any warranty work ?
Optically , are there tear and wear on the buttons, cd tray, scratches ?
Does the 440xs come with the original manual ?
And yes I am interested.
Cheers
Lars
