California Audio Labs Icon

Ha, I figured that much. Thanks.....

Over many decades I have owned lots of CD players (including a CA Labs) so many improvements since those days and a tremendous reduction in price makes repair a waste of $$$. Case in point, I recently bought a Shanling ET3 transport (MSRP $729) and am blown away everytime spin another CD. They also make a CD player and a player that also plays SACDs

Highly recommended

IMO yes get it repaired and upgraded. How much do you want to spend?  You can add better power supply capacitors and upgrade key resistors making what was a very good CDP competitive in todays marketplace. We recently did an old Cary SACD player with over 100 parts.  Damm if it does not knock our socks off.

Happy Listening.

Repair only if very cheap. 

.....take the deduct and run.....If asked why, say that it's disgusting to listen to the point of physical pain and move on....;)
