Included with the No. 51 are the Factory Remote Control, power cord, the Owner's Manual, and a set of the original Mark Levinson factory double boxes and packing materials in very good condition.   But beyond all that, the thing that's important about this famous Levinson No. 51 Reference Media Player is that it is probaly the best sounding CD Player and Transport in the world at any price.  Period.  This is one terrific piece of audio gear.  You'll have it in your system satisfying your every listening desire for decades.  It has the  purity of the real thing...enormous detail, unbelievable authority, perfect mids, and virtually no jitter.  Not to mention unequaled build quality and bullet-proof reliability.  It's a combination that even in the high end, no other CD Players and Transports can match at any price.  Upper frequencies possess both warmth and clarity.  Vocals have the richness and spooky three-dimensional presence of the reality.  And what bass.  You'll find that your speakers'  bass output is cleaner, extended further, and more controlled than ever before.   The No. 51 will completely open up the sound of your speakers and let them expand to fill your entire room with with music.  The chunky, massive looking No. 51 certainly isn't cheap, but even at the full suggested retail price of $18,000, the No 51 is a genuine perfomance bargain compared to the cost of some other far more expensive CD Player/Transport systems.  There's more, of course.  The Levinson No. 51 is also an exceptional video player.  The Nº 51 has custom-calibrated scaling with output resolutions up to 1080i and 720P, de-interlacing, motion compensation, and motion adaptation performed by advanced microprocessors driven by proprietary algorithms.
