CD player problems

REGA ISIS or REGA ISIS VALVE (PREFERRED)

it also has a remote control feature for the USB direct input into its high-end DAC for an external HD so you can also play your digital collection

highly recommended Goliath Killer...Google the reviews.

PS REGA has two (2) additional transports with identical serial numbers set aside just for that particular unit as a hedge against repair requirements. They were all constructed at the same time ....you will be drooling on your pillow in a nursing home before you need to worry.

With respect to Akg, at the price if the very good Rega Isis, I would simply do a music server such as the Naim Uniti. Have you considered the Rega Saturn as a transport? It is quite good.

Zavato-

how old is your Simaudio spinner? Did you buy it new?
Have you contacted Simaudio about a replacement?

Keep me posted and Happy Listening!

It's 3 years old, and it's now back at Sim for repair. I bought it new from an AD

Never had a CD player fail before. I first had a Technics, then a CAL, then Meridian (first CD player that 'name sense' sonically), then a Rega and now the Sim which I think is excellent- when it works. Like it better than my old Merodian 508.24

I remain skeptical about the mechanism in my 260D and don't really want to be in this position in 2-3 years from now.

Got my 260D back- works perfectly- hopefully for the long haul
