    Pioneer PD-5700 CD player, some CD's play, squeals at others (video included)

    I picked up this CD player several months ago as a potential replacement for my 6 disc changer (I prefer single disc), it will play some CD's just fine, but others it doesn't seem to recognize and just makes a high pitched squealing noise immediately when the CD is inserted. This isn't just an...

    Found a Micromega MINIUM CD player in a lot of stereo equipment I bought...

    And I need to know what it's worth? I can't find one for sale in North America. It doesn't have the remote, but I'd love to try and find a remote and buy it. Pictures attached. From what I've found on the interwebz, it's extremely rare and extremely high quality.

    Is there really a audible difference between CD players?

    Honestly guys... Besides the build quality enabling the player to read dirty and damaged disks along with compatibility with modern equipment by way of various state of the art connection methods (i.e bluetooth, hdmi, etc) how does one justify the expenditure of thousands of dollars for a CD...

    CD Audio - Sudden crackles on left channel.

    Do excuse my lack of experience, I just fixed up an old CD player (Technics Sl-P101) thats been sitting in my parents house unused. Fixes were a new belt and some lubrication. Played a few disks and I'm fairly happy with the sound. However briefly (And I only mean briefly) the audio on the left...

    CDP, Skipping at 18 seconds.

    On track 1, played on my late-80's Denon DCD-1700, the CD skips at exactly 18 seconds (regardless of the CD), and skips to about the 1 minute mark, and continues playing. Track 2 also skips, but later tracks do not. What is the best way to troubleshoot this? Clean the lens? Does the lens need...

    Technics CD Player

    Hi, I'm a technics fan and I have a Technics SL-PJ37A. I've been looking at some better, "top of the line", CD players available out there and would like some feedback from people. what i've found is that the newer the cd players, the lighter they were. My guess is that electronics just got...

    YAMAHA CDC models and CDX 700u skip randomly

    What causes a CD player to randomly skip? Specifically older YAMAHA like the CDC 5 disc carousel and CDX single disc models. I've tried leveling the player, tilting the player, brand new CD's, compressed air, program play, random play, allowing the player to warm up, using a fan to keep it cool...

    Sporadic transformer vibration issues- Hitachi DA 1000R

    Hi, I have a second gen Hitachi DA 1000R (the one with the silver power button). I love its 80s styling and cheery if slow opening and closing mechanism. It however has a vibrating transformer which causes the CD to not play while it vibrates. I can imagine the oscillations making it very...

    16 bit 44.1 Khz CD player sounds better than 24bit/192 Khz Player?

    I've been slowly getting digital back into the mix and have been reading up on CD players and which ones are supposed to sound good. Got a Luxman D-100 to match a Silmic II recapped R-115 receiver. Was using a Panasonics RP-62 DVD player that has a 24bit/192 khz audio DAC (not sure what kind...

    Howdy all! Ronito6 here from the Sansui forums mostly. Tales of apparently good gear thrown out just for anyone to take are common enough here on AK. Here is another.... My sister-inlaw who lives in Chicago sent me this picture today. That is a Sansui 771 tuner, a Kenwood cassette...

    Nakamichi CD Player 2 Tray Not Opening

    Have a Nakamichi CD Player 2 that the tray doesn't open. When I took the top off there is nothing jamming. I added grease to the rail. It retracts without any issues. Any suggestions? I can post a video of it tomorrow morning if that would help.

    Converting FLAC 24bits/192khz to Wav keeping same parameters

    Hi there! Greetings form Poland. I recently purchased the new Marantz CD player 6006. Now I realize that even though it has a DAC capable of reading 24bits/192Khz audio files, it doesn't read FLAC. So the question is is it possible to convert the FLAC to Wav keeping the same hi res audio...

    Denon DCD-1700 intermittent skipping

    Hi all, Picked up a nice player- the DCD-1700, for cheap. It's an 80's beaut: very nicely made, heavy, and sounds great. Problem is, over the first couple of tracks on any CD, it'll skip ahead. Track 1, it skips almost right away to the middle of the song. Track 2, pretty much the same. Things...

    DCD-1560 vs. DCD-1560?

    I have the DCD-1520 and I love it. Has anyone compared this to the DCD-1560? What, if anything is better about the 1560? They look almost the same on the outside. Thanks!

    CD audio vs. Blu-Ray audio

    I own a pair of Pioneer Andrew Jones FS-52 speakers. When I play Blu-Rays on my Samsung player, the audio is fantastic - rich, full, and very clear. I recently saw the movie "Baby Driver", and the music on the soundtrack sounded tremendous. My receiver is a Yamaha V-502. I also have an old Sony...

    Magnavox CD Player, FD 3030, made in Belgium circa 1984

    Dug this out of my garage, picked it up at a garage sale a while back--damned it it doesn't work, and beautifully at that, once it had warmed up. Any thoughts on this guy? Very retro, even if it plays digital media.

    Single CD Player Recommendations?

    Hi all, I've currently got a Sony CDP-C515, which works fine, but since I can now stream playlists from my computer the carousel functionality is more annoying than useful. I'm looking to replace it with a cd player that only does 1 disc at a time. I use the optical out to a AudioEngine D1, so...
