Canary Audio
CD-300
The CD-300 is a tube-output CD player from Canary Audio, a small California-based tube-electronics maker that builds its components from the ground up with domestic manufacturing. It uses military-grade PCBs, silver-plated PTFE wiring, and potted transformers, assembled in small batches and sold through a limited dealer network. It serves as a successor to the well-regarded CD-200 and carries a sustained niche reputation among tube-audio enthusiasts.
