    Help with a broken Akai cd-93

    Howdy, I got my dads old CD player out of the loft to add to my new system. We turned it on and the cd tray didn’t open, but we could hear whirring inside. We opened it up and the belts had disintegrated, so we replaced them and it all worked fine. Now when it closes, one of the switches just...

    Is it normal that I can smell something from my vintage denon CD player?

    I bought a vintage Denon DCD 1500 mk2 CD player, and I can smell some sort of burning plastic if I get very close to the player, I mean literally that my nose has to almost touche the player in order to smell it. The location is around the tray position where the disc is placed. For safety...

    Rotel RCC-945 Ground Issue

    Hello I'm currently troubleshooting a Rotel RCC-945 cd player. It has what seems to be a ground hum. The noise starts at power up when the relay switch clicks (this relay is located by the output terminals). I re-soldered some solder joints that looked suspicious to the eye. These include the...

    I'm looking for a recommendation on a compact component CD Player

    I want something compact that I can put on my work desk that has a nice big display on it. Optical out would be nice, but not necessary. I have quite a pile of Sony Discman players. But none of them have the nice big display I am looking for.

    Technics SL-P999 remote control problem

    Yamaha CDR-HD1300 the DAC within.

    Hi, Can anyone shed some light or have an opinion on the quality of the DAC within this machine, the Yamaha CDR-HD1300? I presume that since the machine offered very high quality HDD analogue recording from CDs that it would have employed some very good Yamaha electronics. But rather than...

    Why can't my older CD player read certain CDs?

    I have a Toshiba SD9000 CD/DVD player. It sounds very good (to me) despite not being a CD-exclusive machine. It seems to have good solid machinery -- it weighs a ton for a CD player -- yet the very occasional CD totally flummoxes it. It'll just whir and whir and not be able to read the disc. I...

    Audio Caps for Recapping Vintage CD Player?

    I'm trying to determine if there is any advantage in using "Audio" caps (like Silmic II, Muse, etc) to recap the digital portion of a vintage Sony ES CD player (not the PS & analog circuits) vs 105 deg, low ESR caps. It would seem to me that there would not be any advantage to do this. Does...
