Charles, Bill, et al,
The MVP 871 is actually a very fine sounding player, especially with the modifications done on it. Had I known about the transport problem, I would have never bought it.
I have a sizable collection of multi-channel audio discs, or else I would ditch the thing entirely, there's also the matter of losing my investment in the McIntosh.
I have no intention or desire to do the computer audio thing. I HATE computers. I wanted to die without ever having one. There are times when I wish I had. Without one, though, life became like living like a mushroom, in the darkest part of the cellar.
I did manage to find a replacement transport, I hope it arrives soon so I can install it, and get back to my lazy digital ways when I feel like it.
You are right Charles, Redbook CD's can sound very good. If it didn't, I certainly wouldn't have wasted time and money on it, nor do I think most of us would have done.
Anyway, best of the new year to all,
Dan
