    Technics SL-PG100 has issues reading some CDs

    I knew it could not be THIS good when I picked it up on a garage sale for $15. It does not read some CDs. Out of the CDs I tried it could not read probably 20-25% It just sits with 00:00, making grinding sounds. This is not related to CD duration, it did read a 79 minute CD, but did not read a...

    Pioneer Laserdisc/CD Player Not Turning On

    Hi all, I have a Pioneer CLD-S104 Laserdisc/CD player that is not turning on at all. It hasn't turned on ever since my house experienced a power surge years ago and I've left it in a closet until now. I feel like my electronic repairing skills are good enough now that I might be able to fix it...

    Need HELP with a CD player

    Hi all - I currently have a pair of B&W 802d (first generation) powered by Classe CAM-200 monoblocks with a Bryston BP26 preamp. Currently my CD player is an Arcam CD-72. I've been complaining that my speakers sound congested in the midrange, not as open, dynamic and airy as some of the...

    Nakamichi CD Player 4 - Won't Read CDs...

    Hi, I have a Nakamichi CD Player 4, circa 1990. Some time in the last few years, it quit reading discs. When a CD is inserted, the tray closes, the CD turns about a half revolution, following by a couple soft clicks from the laser assembly. I replaced the laser, no change, and have checked...

    CDC-845 information please

    I've just found myself the owner of a Yamaha CDC-845 that came with a rack full of vintage Sansui gear I acquired. I understand that they were the top model of the CDC series in the early/mid eighties. Cosmetically it's in very good condition, performs exactly as it should and comes from a...

    Pioneer SDR-05 CD recorder. Reporting how I make it works, at least for now.

    Hello friends, Recently I found this beauty on a local second hand electronics, the state was "not working" and after some talking with the owner, he was sick of trying to make it works, he gave it to me for around 30 USD. I did the research before and knew this was probably a good piece, some...

    Rotel RCD-855 trouble

    Hello all you CD player experts (especially @dr*audio , you seem to really know your stuff!) I have an RCD-855 on my bench right now that belongs to a fellow AKer who has done me a solid.

    Yamaha CDC-635 won't play burned CDs

    I recently got a used Yamaha CDC-635 5 CD changer. It was in great cosmetic condition but mechanically not. The tray won't come out, the spindle was jammed and the lens gear was cracked (basically nothing left) Managed to repair it though. The problem is that it will only read an original audio...

    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. Today I hooked it up in my bedroom/headphone system via coax feeding an Audio-gd Dac19 DSP1 (PCM 1704). I hadn't tried it as transport-only and it made an appreciable difference playing cds...

    Teac AD800- CD "Side" Cutting Out

    Hey all. I have a Teac AD800, the combo cassette/CD player. The cassette side works fine, but the CD side has an issue with cutting out. The disk reads fine, starts to play fine, then every 30s-60s the audio cuts out for a beat or two. It's not a skip. It's just like someone hit mute for a...

    Help with Teac PD-H300 CD player - Am I being told porkies?

    Hello, this is my first question on this forum and I hope I'm posting it in the right place! To cut a VERY long story short, I took a Teac PD-H300 CD player for repair back in December as it was having trouble reading dics and being very selective about which discs it played.

    The Rare Onkyo DX-701?

    Has anyone got the slightest notion about this player? It looks like it was made in 1995. It may or may not accommodate 2 disks. (Really?) According to Radiomuseum.com, it has a write capability? (That seems far fetched.) Onkyo made a DX-700, which did not have an optical connect, and a...

    Newer CD-R problem (Denon DCM-270)

    I'm troubleshooting my dad's Denon DCM-270 changer which refuses to play newer CD-R audio discs. It plays commercially produced discs, and older CD-R with no problems (discs burned on long dead CD burners, 10 to 20 years ago). I've recently begun digitizing his LPs, and the resulting CD-Rs don't...

    I’m considering purchasing one of these CD players to upgrade from my magnavox cdb650. Seller says the only issue is that some display segments do not work. Any opinions on quality, sound, or potential issues? Would it be a worthwhile upgrade?
