    Vintage cd player as budget transport - Philips cdm, coaxial out.

    I've been enjoying a Magnavox CDB460 for a year or so now as a standalone player in my living room system.

    Arcam DV88 DVD-A plays fine, CDs do not

    This Arcam DV88 was seldom used when acquired as used about 8 years ago, but intended for use as an excellent CD and DVD-A player. When I last operated it, the tray belt was rotted, so I changed it out for a fresh belt, a task I have performed maybe a dozen times on CD and DVD players. This...
