KLH DA 1402 CD Changer, other models: Info???


I simply cannot find information about KLH CD Players.

thanks in advance for any help, I'm just curious

I doubt they made it, anyone know of a database? (hifiengine has nothing)

Owner's experience?

On the 5 Disc Changer DA 1402 BOX it says 16 bit dual processors.

Based on that, I took a chance and bought a vintage 'new in box' 1402 to compete with my 'surprisingly hard to beat' Sony. Laugh all you want, the Oppo 105 didn't sound better to me or my 3 eared friends.

Only a guess, but the KLH CD players were most likely manufactured by some OEM and then re-badged as KLH.

KLH stopped being the KLH of respected audio manufacturers at least 40 years ago.  KLH comes after Acoustic Research and before Advent.  CD players come into existence way after Advent. 

I am not saying that this next story is related to the CD player you are referring to, but SONY filed suit against KLH for stealing one of its DVD/ CD player designs.

Do you have any information about the KLH changer, like where it was made, approximate year of manufacture, etc?
