Worth fixing?

I`ve been there, and done that.

Agree with prior post. Unless its over a couple of grand, brand new, not worth fixing.

Look at current models from Rotel, Denon, Marantz, and Yamaha.

I had a nice basement system including a Classe Tuner 1 and a Classe CA 100 amp.

When the tuner failed, I left it with the repair shop and after a month they said it needed a part that had become unavailable. I looked up the part and it had been made in Europe and out of production for a while. So I bought another Classe Tuner 1 used.

Some years later, the CA 100 amp lost a channel. After three months, my repair shop said Classe had changed ownership and no longer supported repair of pre-acquisition products. So I replaced it with a used working unit.

I eventually gave the system to a son in college. When he moved and threw it all away, I didn’t feel too bad.

Of course, I never bought another Classe product.

Get a new player. Audio Lab, Pro-Ject or new Rotel. Just a few examples in this category.  

junk it

Could be just dirty connections. Try cleaning RCAs & IEC. Happened to me for my LFD phono stage. It was my IEC, I just kept plugging & unplugging my power cord & it was fine & has been fine since. Mike Morrow (cables) advised me of this for an issue of noise from my LFD which helped before I had the other issue. My LFD was bad, it was just all distortion.
