Construction features
This section describes the special features of the CD Player, the construction features, the reasons for the technical choices and the originality of the design.
The STIBBERT BLACK PEARL is a floating on Harmonic Iron springs CD Player that uses a plinth made of black high-density polished acrylic, an High-Mass metal main electronic cabinet.
A clear acrylic plinth as support the whole structure.
The chassis is particularly heavy to help dissipating vibration feedback.

The Dual-Speed™ system enables the unit adjust the disc rotation speed depending on the effective need improving the laser track ability.
The Electro-Power™ allows a precise and fine voltage setting in any specific critical area of the electronic circuit where variations may affect the sound quality.

Set-Up Instructions
Open all the cartons inside the main box and check that all the components listed in the “content section” are present.
1) Carefully remove the STIBBERT Black Pearl CDP chassis from the
shipping box as well as the 2 carton boxes and the clear acrylic
plinth
2) Screw down the four threaded bars in the specific holes of the
transparent acrylic plinth. The threaded bars must protrude from
underneath (the other side of the Clear plinth Goldenote® label
and grey rounded velvets) the transparent acrylic plinth about 10
mm.
3) Screw up the silver anodised aluminium feet on the threaded bars
onto the lower part of the transparent acrylic base.
4) Insert the silver anodised aluminium threaded-bar covering
columns over the threaded bars on the upper part of the
transparent acrylic plinth. Please note that the rubber ring spacers
should be left in place and the covering columns slid over them. It
is normal to encounter some resistance when doing this, because
the rubber ring spacers are there to prevent the covers from
moving when you have completed the installation.
5) Screw the bolt shaped spring supports onto the head of the
threaded bars with the bolt/smaller cylindrical shape facing up and
fit the conical springs onto them with the narrow part of the spring
at the top. The spring support should be screwed down close to
the head of the threaded bars.
6) Gently lay the CD player unit onto the pre-installed springs finding
the perfect cente–ring inside the holes of the plinth itself.
7) Place the STIBBERT Black Pearl on the level surface you have
chosen for it. We recommend a wall shelf, as they are the
sturdiest, and immune to footfall, but a well made equipment rack should also give satisfactory results. You are now ready to
make the necessary connections.
8) Connect the respective left and right channels of your Interconnect cables to your amplifier (or a digital 75ohm cable if you are
using an external DAC).
9) To finish the installation level the unit to a perfectly flat position and connect the supplied AC Power chord. Levelling the unit will
provide the best sonic performance.
