Transport identification


Hi to all, I'm turning to the audiophile community in the hope I can find an answer to my problem. A few years ago I bought a transport from a small tube gear manufacturer based in Ohio (?) that went by the name Pacific Valve. They are unfortunately not in business anymore. Back then they decided to offer a CD transport (Aulne Cyclone), no accompanying DAC. I recently sold it to have it returned since the buyer claimed that it skipped. Since it had been stored away for the past 3 years and was playing just fine the last time I had used it, I felt a bit like an idiot. I could not play it before I sold it since I don't have a DAC, I only plugged it in to make sure it was OK, which it seemed to be. Now my question is where did they source the laser component? Is it from Phillips, Sony, etc? Does anyone know? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
