Theta Miles CD player

I love my Miles, too.  Although I have not had a major
problem with it, I added a second Miles a few years ago.
It is used in a "backup" system and is my assurance
that I hopefully will never be without one!  The latest unit
is actually an earlier production version.  Don't mind 
that at all!  I figure it is cheap insurance: $600-$800 can be the
price tag of nice ones that come up for sale, from time to time...

Does Theta still offer parts/service for these players?
Happy Listening!

Your Theata Miles is classic old school R2R Multibit (PCM63 dacs) this is why you still like it for Redbook.

Trouble you've got is the laser (Pinoneer  PEA1343), it's almost unobtainium, and the ones around demand huge prices.
If you love the sound as you say and you want to keep it, get one for a spare before they disappear and you end up with a door stop.

Thanks for the suggestion.  I need to do that.

WOW! Didn't expect to run across this thread. I don't get around here much anymore. But I've considered investing in a new CDP, mainly because my Miles is getting old. I've had it around 18 yrs and it still sounds good to me. I've considered a used Esoteric. But maybe the laser head is the way to go......or another Miles for backup. Considering the comments, i decided to research the PCM63 dac and found a lot of good talk about it. Apparently the Miles may be a keeper....with the right backup parts
