CEC have been an innovator in the world of Hi-End audio with famous products such as the TL0 belt drive transport and the AMP71, a 250WPC Class A monster!

With new slim line Class A products just released, and a classic Vacuum Tube amplifier now in the line-up, CEC are set to power through the 21st Century with innovative classy Audio designs.

 

 

 

AMPLIFIERS

 

CEC AMP3300 Integrated Amplifier. This amazing amplifier shares much of its design with its big brother the AMP71, which is an incredible single ended class A Integrated with innovative circuitry. The smaller brother, AMP3300 produces 60wpc into 8 ohms and 100wpc into 4 ohms, and can drive difficult loads with ease. Usage of Class A circuitry, dual mono design, and a newly designed IGM volume control combine to create a sound that is hugely transparent and detailed, yet warm and lucid, the best of tubes and transistors?

Comes in Black or Silver.

CEC AMP5300 Integrated Amplifier. This new amplifier expands on the output stage of the 3300. AMP5300 produces 100wpc into 8 ohms. Usage of Class A circuitry, dual mono design, and a newly designed IGM volume control combine to create a sound that is hugely transparent and detailed, extremely close to the 3300 but with greater power for those difficult loads.

Comes in Silver Mink finish.

 

PRICE: AUD$1799.00

 

 

 

 

 

CEC AMP53 Integrated Amplifier. CEC’s new slim case design featuring CEC’s patented Single Ended Class A circuitry and 120WPC output power.

Features balanced & single ended inputs, remote DIGM (digital intelligent gain management) volume control system, and a blue-lit LCD display. Casing is all alloy on the new 53 series, and the AMP53 has a built in silent fan in the bottom panel. She runs pretty warm and sounds glorious! Big open rhythmical soundstage are words that aptly describe the new AMP53.

 

Combine the new AMP53 with the TL53Z player for an exceptional sound system with a superbly transparent Class A sound.

 

Comes in Silver Mink finish. Includes custom alloy remote control!

 

PRICE: AUD$2799.00

 

 

 

 

CEC TUBE53 Vacuum tube amplifier. Finally! CEC produce a Class A vacuum tube amplifier. 20WPC output from the 6L6GC tubes, and utilising the low noise 12AU7 at the input stage. Runs 3 conventional inputs switched from the front of the amplifier and volume control, making for a neat front panel and keeping the switching circuitry to a minimum.

Comes in Silver Mink finish.

 

DETAILS:
The TUBE53 uses two 6L6GC tubes per channel in a push-pull configuration, and the power amplifier circuitry is designed in the Mullard type with low-distortion for the phase inverting. The auto-bias setting results in a long service life for the tubes. The TUBE53’s minimum reliance on negative feedback circuitry enables hi-fidelity music reproduction.

 

The TUBE53’s output transformer, made from orient core materials, enables a straight sound quality with minimum phase misalignment.

The use of an additional toroidal transformer for the power supply offers superior rise characteristics. Noise is thoroughly eliminated by potting the transformer.

 

The TUBE53 uses selected high-quality components to draw out the circuitry’s full potential, such as low-distortion volume control, electrolytic capacitors and resistors with high information processing ability and low noise.

 

The design concept for TUBE53 aims for a unique combination of the latest technology and traditional analogue technique. Ample use of pure aluminum for the chassis contributes greatly to both its sophisticated appearance and musical performance. The slim and modern appearance fits right in with CEC’s existing 53 series. The soft glow of the vacuum tubes, seen through the fine glass side-panel handmade by expert craftsmen, is sure to provide you with deep musical relaxation.

REVIEW FROM POSITIVE FEEDBACK

 

REVIEW FROM 6 MOONS

 

 

CEC TL53Z BELT DRIVE CD Player. This is the newly released Hi-End CD player from CEC, designed to partner with the new AMP53 & TUBE53 valve amp.

 

Classic CEC belt drive mechanism employed is the next step up from the TL51 series. Chassis is all alloy with a lovely extruded finish and superior damping qualities to steel.

 

Features single ended and balanced analogue outputs, and a full compliment of digital outputs. Switchable DAC settings.

 

As with all other CEC products the TL53Z uses an even more advanced version of the LEF Single ended Class A output stage along with the current Burr Brown 24 bit dac.

 

Another beautiful design from CEC with a sound to match!

CEC DX71 Mk2 D/A Converter. This is CEC’s top model DAC designed by Carlos Candieas, featuring dual potted toroidal transformers, one for digital and one for analogue power supplies, 9 discrete power supplies with 160,000uF of filtering. LEF Class A output stages and IGM digital volume control preamp built in! RCA and XLR outputs for direct out and pre outs, remote control included. Upgradeable filter and DAC modules, the current DX71 features NPC’s Hi-Speed 24/96 digital chips.

 

This is a top flight D/A & preamp which has won many awards and is one of the best digital to analogue converters we have ever possessed. It has been described as having a “liquid organic sound” with a musicality that one associates with analogue reproduction. In listening tests it has easily beaten the current BenchMark DAC, AckDack! Tube Technology, Meridian, Micromega, DPA, Sonic Frontiers, and VIMAK.

We have one DX71 Mk II left in the champagne finish above, this is the last 240v version available anywhere, if you always thought about owning one of the best dacs around now is the time!

 

 

PHONO STAGES

 

CEC PH53 PHONO STAGE. PH53 is a state of the art Phono amplifier. The unique balanced current injection input for a wide range of MC cartridge and the LEF amplifier technology for the output stage provide today's top level sound quality. Also standard RCA input for unbalanced use with MM or MC cartridge is available. All amplifier sections run without any overall negative feedback, thus the amplifier creates no dynamic distortion.

 

PH53 is compatible with both MM and MC cartridges and allows precise settings with DIP switches on its bottom panel. RIAA with the Neumann extension allows a wider top frequency extension. PH53 also has a switchable subsonic filter for preventing large woofer excursions and muddiness in the midrange.
