Ayon CD 1 acting up


I have an Ayon CD 1 that is about 4 years old. On two occasions in the last week or so, while playing a CD there was a static noise that increased over a couple of seconds and then no sound. I stopped the CD and restarted it on each occasion and then it started playing again normally without an issue.

This has been an isolated issue but I was wondering what was causing it. Could a tube be going bad?

THanks, I'll give USA Tube Audio a call, they have always been helpful in the past.

Another problem that has occurred very occasionally is that the player will kind of lock up when starting a CD by hitting play. That is the track number comes on, but does not play and it will not let me do anything else. If I turn off the player and restart it, it starts up and works fine. Maybe this could be related? I'll check with USA tube audio.

THanks again for your input.
Sounds like the sensor under the cover lid is loose; contributing to that type of problem. It can be easily fixed and repaired; a well know problem with the Ayon lid assembly. Don't think its your tubes, or laser pickup assembly. Paul can suggest a corrective action plan for you that's not too expensive.
