Accuphase Design Concepts

Yes I can understand your frustration.   Did you send the unit to Axxis to be repaired?  
Curious : What unit failed? What happened? and how old was it?  

…..AXISS customer support has been fantastic. AXISS has the piece now and it is a DP 1000 ( purchased with the DC 1000 ) their transport and was bought new and is only about 4 months old .

Mechanical with the drawer? Rather than electronic components?

....you guessed it and it ''eat '' a couple of very rare CD's that a portion of one is unplayable. AXISS was terrific and I should have it back in my hands in about a week.

Yep that seems to be the weak point on CD players. Had a nice Rotel years ago that refused to give me back the CD. I think top loading players might be more reliable with fewer moving parts.
