To Repair or Replace

My 1995 vintage CAL Audio Icon II CD player has started skipping and is having tracking problems. The only place I know that still services CAL says it needs a new laser ($350 + shipping). Is it worth investing that much in a 13 year old player or is it smarter to invest the money in a new one? I tried a budget DVD player but it just doesn't have the presence and depth of the Icon II. Thanks in advance--Joe

Technology has vastly improved with digital. I replace an older Krell with a much newer Marantz because it sounded so much better. I didn't even try the newer Krell digital because my son is in private school and I couldn't afford it even if I liked it.

(All my other electronics remain Krell)
