thanks to Audiogon


Good evening. I’m still new to Audiogon and have yet to make any deals here but in the future I won’t hesitate to strike a good one up. I took delivery of a package this afternoon instead of taking a long drive I went ahead and trusted someone from *****’s list and may of gotten burned. I’m not naive but the guy sounded honest and all that, and it was’t a large transaction. Any more and a red light would of went on. Seller said low mileage and works perfectly which appears to be true its a solid 10 for looks, so is remote (in fact its still in plastic). A 10 in looks but a big fat 0 in performance its malfunctioning. Maybe its just a sign to say I’m starting to have too many Marantz disc player’s already. They do seem to be becoming a bit of an audio video weakness for me.

I would not of started a new topic to give thanks more that I was itching to ask if someone might have a loose diagnosis for symptoms. It powers up seeming like business as usual it accepts the shiny little disc then makes some usual subtle internal sounds after it closes announcing its wakening to do some work. instead of going to work the sounds pause then it suddenly spits the CD back out. Ive tried a few different ones, production wise and burns. Same result it spits them all back out.

I'm calling out this poster. He's new, has a weird problem, "low mileage"?........"on vacation and can't respond"? Sorry but this all sounds bogus to me. It's amazing what people will do on the internet.
I was simply not able to try any of the troubleshooting methods suggested above simply because I dont often bring my audio gear with me when I go away. Surely not stuff thats unusable, falconquest.  I felt my post was descriptive and that adding more detail was unnecessary. 

You also misquoted me so partial thanks go out for that bit too (sarcastic context).

My original thanks in there sincerity were for another purchaseing option, and a better one at that. 
To update it seems "ok" now. After unplugging it It was on for over a day before I had a chance to use it. Maybe it only does this when its cold. I've had intermittent things happen in the past that would only act up while cold, or after coming up to temperature or being placed to close to another heat source.
