cd player skipping

What do you have the player sitting on? If you tried the various cones,platforms,bricks then your unit might be defective.

The laser could be out of alignment or it is vibrations mentioned above. I would definitely bring it in to a tech, if still under warranty and have it checked.

If you go to Audioreview.com and research your player you will see that the unit has a history of skipping and down time. If isolation devices and proper leveling/cleaning and adjustment do not work it may be time to move on (unless it's under warrenty). Sorry, I am only the messenger. I passed on one of these for next to nothing a while back due to its repair history.

jd i have the wadia 860 and i was told never to clean the cd player. youu should probally take the unit in for repair. only clean the cd with a good cd machine cleaner.
