Anyone upgrade from Jays CDT2MK3 to CDT3MK3?


I recently upgraded from the Cdt2MK3 to the Cdt3MK3 and I am not pleased. The CDT3MK3 skips on CDs that I’ve been playing on the CDT2 for two years without a problem. Anyone else with a similar experience?

Important Note:

The Philips CD mechanism is a high-quality CD playback system recognized for its precision and sound quality. However, please note the following regarding its sensitivity to the type of discs used:

  • Recordable Discs: CD-Rs and CD-RWs may present challenges, especially if they are of lower quality or poorly manufactured, which can lead to potential read errors.

  • Vinyl Discs: While vinyl discs are not standard CDs, compatibility with hybrid formats or vinyl-like coatings can be inconsistent, potentially affecting playback reliability.

  • Poor Reflectivity Discs: Discs with low reflectivity may hinder the laser's ability to read data effectively, resulting in skipping or failure to read.

In summary, while the Philips CD mechanism offers excellent sound quality, its sensitivity to disc quality can affect playback success, particularly with less reliable media.
