    Pioneer Elite PD-75: Mods?

    HI all, I recently picked up a very nice Pioneer PD-75 Elite Cd player in very good condition. It is beautiful to look at and it sounds spectacular. I am not dissatisfied with it at all, but I wanted to ask the group if there are modifications that one can make to this player. I've heard of...

    Help - Technics CD Player stuck

    Hello, I have a Technics CD Player SL-PG340 that I bought new 25+ years ago. I used to play many CDs years ago, but for the past 3-4 years I didn't use it. Now, it still "works". It reads all my CDs, all button works as they should, all is good until I press the eject button. If there's no CD...

    Looking for CD Storage solution(s) for a small dwelling

    I'll cut to the chase. Are there any storage solutions for a sizeable CD collection in a fairly small apartment? I've already ruled out tossing the jewel cases and putting the discs into albums, or ripping my collection to MP3 (shudder!), which would take forever anyway. How have folks here...

    Denon UD-M30: CD player won't shut

    Hi I have a Denon UD-M30. The CD player plays disks and ejects just fine but it won't shut - I have to push it all the way in with a finger. I was looking for some pointers on this hopefully. I know these units sometimes need a new belt but was thinking that if that was gone, it wouldn't...

    Pioneer PD-5010 not reading disk

    I picked up this absolute beast of a CDP at a local Goodwill the other day and the tray mech works great, everything looks really clean. The laser head moves like it should but the disk doesn't spin at all. Sometimes when I turn it off with a disk in it the motor will spin a little so I think...

    Hello everyone, I am currently looking for some help with a Technics SL-555 Compact Disc Player that I picked up today for free. I figured that it was free for a reason, but I couldn't possibly pass up a deal that amazing. When I got it home, I realized that it appears to be in excellent...

    Technics system remote control specs

    Hi I've been wondering: My Technics SL-P110 has this connector for a remote control: I would like to bring my CD player to the mid-eighties by building a little IR receiver that I can hook up to this port. Would anyone happen to have specs for this? What protocol does it speak? How is the...

    Help, My Pioneer PD-M90X CD Player Won't Play Some CD's

    I have a beautiful Pioneer PD-M90X 1987 cd player that is finicky about which cd's it will play. I received a Lee Michaels cd for Christmas and the M90X won't play it. The Lee Michaels cd plays just fine on two other Pioneer cd players I have. One is a PD-M530 1987 and the other is a PD-M670...

    Pioneer PD-204 - sometimes work, sometimes not - please help

    Hello! I recently bought a Pioneer PD-204 CD player. First time I plugged it in, the problem was there: closing the tray and the disc is not spinning up. I tried with like 5-6 discs, and at some point one of the motors started to spin up (with a bizzarre noise which was gone after a few secs)...

    Concern: I have a concern/question that I can't seem to find an answer to out there on the information superhighway. I've been experimenting with and doing some research over analog vs. digital audio connections from cheap Blu-ray/CD/optical media players. The consensus seems to be that the...

    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...

    Pioneer P-D70 issues

    So I just bought a vintage Pioneer P-D70 CD player on Letgo. When I came to pick it up the guy plugged it in and played a disc and it sounded great, I tried most of the buttons (FF, Rew, Track skip, etc) which worked fine. Then when I brought it home it worked fine for about 10-15 minutes, which...

    Is there really a audible difference between CD players?

    Recording 78's onto CD and need advice

    My father is downsizing and asked that I copy some of his 78's onto CD for him. I have considered using my computer, then started looking at used CD-RW units. I plan to use my Dual 1229Q turntable with a 78 cartridge, and my McIntosh C-20 preamp which has the settings for various labels. But I...

    Elusivity

    Okay, so it's not a word. At least, I'm pretty sure (>90%) it isn't, but I'm not browser-searching it to check. Because even if it isn't a word, you know its meaning... and I like the way it sounds. Some recordings elude us. One that has dodged me for years, decades actually, is Passport's...

    Picked up a mint pair of Altec Model 14s off craigslist for a fair price. Has skanky (but brand new) looking replacement pyramid woofers (PW1248USX-8ohm), but he has kept the originals in the boxes for the pyramids and stored in an indoor closet facing up, so just need new foam surrounds...

    Very early CD Player (Magnavox FD-2000) distortion on cold start...What am I dealing with here?

    So I found a beautiful Magnavox FD-2000 CD Player at a thrift store. It's an extremely rare, very early deck. Branded Magnavox, but it's a Philips CD-200 clone (it even has a Philips CD-200 sticker still attached to the bottom of the cabinet). My understanding is that people didn't know...

    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...

    CD Player Chirp...

    Hello everyone, just nabbed a Rega Planet CD player on Fleabay and, unfortunately, it has a playback issue. On some tracks (more easily heard on quiet ones) the CD player produces a "chirp" or "crackle" in its audio output (heard through the speakers). I have A/B tested the issue extensively...
