b & w 804 s

between 80 and 90 , skipping and stopping, i swapped out original for the parasound and adcom , keeping the rotel cd, cuts out for second, checked cable connections when installed  parasound and adcom,, changed out tara omni bi wire for monster 16 gauge, banana clips, i have some gear it 14 gauge , outlet is good, strip is power protect av600. it is color coded and marked for tv, amp, cd, etc,  i did not follow these. under 80 is pleasant with no skips. no power flickering  paul

@marley119  -  Based on your answers, it's starting to look like the problem maybe with the Rotel CD ???  If you tap the chassis of the CD player, does it skip and/or stop?  Do you have (or borrow) another CD/DVD/BluRay player you can temporarily swap in for the Rotel and test?

i have some rubber hock absorbers under cd player but tapping player does make it skip. if it is rotel cd player ,  you think it can be fixed 

the CD player has 3 main parts: the cd holder mechanical component (the plastic case), the reader (the laser eye) and the processor (the flat board with the little thingies) You can easily fix the mechanical part, clean the laser and even replace it, but fixing the board is pretty hopeless. The error you are describing seems more hopeless than not to me - home fixing wise.

cool, thanks for your time, i emailed rotel, see what they have to say, thanks again,  paul
