Well, I have owned the Audiolab CDT6000 for about a year shy a couple months and it has this weird tendency to skip once in a while. The disc usually is pristine and strangely can be played again with no trouble. While its rare and getting more rare as time passes, it bugs me whenever it happens. Like someone banging on the window outside out of the blue. Very jarring. It was a demo from Audio Advisor and they told me within 30 days to return but its so infrequent I kept hoping time would heal all. Any ideas? It does play faultlessly some old CD's that have no business being near a player. The mechanism somehow gets in a wad temporarily. I will assume its a one off since no else reports problems....
