Philips LHH1000
(1988 - 1993+)

One of the many versions of a still famed and very much sought after CD combo - but the one that came from the center of the Marantz galaxy of versions : Philips.

The LHH1000 consists of three items :
LHH1001 (the drive),
LHH1002 (the d/a unit) and
LHH1003 (the remote control).

Semi-equivalents can chronologically be found in the
Marantz CD-94 and CDA-94 (1986/1987)
Marantz CD-94 Limited and CDA-94 Limited (1988),
Marantz CD-12 and CDA-12 (1988),
Marantz CD-95 and CD-95 Limited (1989),
Marantz CD-99DR and CD-99SE (1990).

The LHH1001 and LHH1002 are however direct siblings of the export-only CD-12 and CDA-12 : shielded toroidal transformers, double TDA-1541A S1, RC-95 / LHH1003 remote control, balanced XLR outputs and same internal structure and componentry, same aluminium top plate etc. Please refer to the Marantz CD-12 page on TVK for a complete description ; click below for internal views of the LHH1000.
Among others, Micro Seiki used this base for its own CD-M2 and CD-M100 CD players.

Still highly sought-after in Japan, where the LHH1000 was delivered with a cute old style warranty booklet. And since the LHH1000 was based on the Philips CDM-1 drive, it will make music as long as there will be CDs to play.
