Thanks for the responses , i was told that the new Musical fidelity sacd players transport is now no longer made ? Makes you wonder if new cd transports will made for much longer or will they just be dvd based ? I guess there must be spare parts for the Theta DBII if you search around as i understand alot of manufactures used the CDM9 transport in there players. Cheers.
Theta Data Basic II cd transport Reliability ?
Hello Everyone
I have a Theta data basic II on loan from a dealer , the unit appears to operate fine and it has come from a good home , i currently have a Rega planet 2000 with clock upgrade but the Theta is a step up in sound i am using a Van Den Hul digital cable , i am a bit worried from what i read on the web forums, many are saying to stay away because of spare parts problems with the phillips cdm9 transport mechanism and laser , my question is how reliable are these transports as i have never had a cd transport mechanism fail , i even have a Luxman D-105u from 1990 and the transport mechanism is still fine , any opinions would be most welcome. Cheers Phil.
