Theta Data II good transport?

you hit it on the head w/reliability issues and arm and leg cost for repair. i own one with the well known door open/close issue...I got mine with that glitch for $250 though.....on the positive side, it has increased my hand/eye coordination skills, and hand speed, while trying to drop in a cd before the drawer closes.

Don't rush onto $$$digital components when you can get loads of music from Micromega stage... even if you get an integrated player instead of transport it will still make a sence to use it as a transport since transports in Micomegas are excellent.

Does Micromega have a newer player out I thought they have not made a player in about 5 years?

You're right they don't have any new player but if there is a chance to get used one for a-little(range of $300) you won't regret.

While I've had tech problems with several Theta transports, I had some serious reliability problems with a Micromega Leader2 as well... and an old NAD... maybe I'm just hard on transports.
