Classe CDP-1.5, 1 or .5 experience??

I currently own (bought new) a CDP-1; the first Classe CD Player. Up until about a year ago, I felt it was bulletproof, as well as one of the best "one box" CD Players. Currently I have a problem where it intermittently doesn't read a CD. Once the CD is read (at first load), it is terrific. Unfortunately, a call to Classe has indicated that the problem cannot be fixed....that a $2500 CD player is (soon to be just)a paperweight. That dissapoints me. However, I don't learn very well; I'm considering buying a CDP1.5

Probably just needs a new transport. Parts Connexion should have the philips transport for you.

I have same problem with 0.5. But sounds very smooth.

I have had the cdp.5 for several years w/out any problems. Reads cd fine and sounds great. Built like a tank!
Great sounding audio w/my Classe Cap 150 and BW matrix speakers.

Owned a cdp 1, fed through a Dact attenuator into a Classe S700 into mg 3.5's. The cdp 1 is at least as good as the Benchmark Dac1 I now use.
