CEC CD3100 CD player tray belt, puzzled indeed!
I too am looking for a replacement belt for a CEC 3300.  Audio Union wants $100 for the belt.  No can doozy.  If anyone has any new info on sourcing please let me know.  I have a family member in Japan so I'm trying to find a local dealer in Osaka...

Hey thanks audphile1.Things have changed slightly since my last post.  I just picked up a Musical Fidelity A3 24-Bit CD Player for $150 in near perfect condition.  I put this in the system last night along with a PS Audio upc 200 and there's qui...

The cosmetic issues are just some discoloration on the faceplate where it looks like someone was trying to clean it.  No dents or dings of note.  Still a risk with the age but I would probably outsource repair unless I could YouTube for instruction.

Thanks mward.  I'm shopping for the transport now as well as an old CEC CDP 3300 for a second system.  I'm sure I'll end up with the Loki but I do believe the cable upgrade has made enough of an improvement to be worth the expense of even a minima...

Did you own one of these Roxy or just know how it sounds?  Do you know what amp it was paired with and how would describe the sound?  Thanks.

You were right mesch.  I listened to both the Toshiba and Sony S700 all day yesterday and the Toshiba sounded better to me over the course of the day.  I was actually surprised that I could discern such a difference between the two.  The Toshiba w...

Thanks mesch. I'd love to try out some cables before I outlay the money for the Loki.  Just let me know what you have in mind and I'll work something out with you.  Sent you a pm and thanks again.

Thanks Paul.  I do have an old Pace soldering station and might consider the idea of DIY.  I was planning on tinkering with the old The Fisher 800 but starting with cabling might be fun.  Thanks!

Maybe I should move this to the digital forum but wanted to follow up regarding the CD player.  The player I was using is the Sony S530D.  I ended up finding 2 others in the closet.  A Toshiba XR-30 and a Sony DVP S700.  I tried all 3 with the fol...

Thanks Paul.  With all the recommendations to try Canare and the price point, I'll have to give them a shot.  At this point my plan is to get the Schiit Loki+ and some Canare cables.  If it still needs a tweet at the point I'll try the felt idea.

Less than $500 but $200-300 would be preferable.

Yes Stuart.  I actually have an old Toshiba XR-30 (something like that) and a sony DVD/CD etc. with built in DAC that I can try also.  I'm just going to have to remove an entire closet worth of the wife's crap to get to it.  Might break out my fir...
