I think just buy good oppo player, very few tech knows how fix cdp, I have my Sony 9000es modwright 3k, send to repair shop, it looks like , they won't be able to fix, so I bought SACD marantz and Yamaha SACD way to go if you have the budget, you get new technology .
CDP Repair or Replace? Seeking advice Please
Hi,
First, thank you for your kind response!
I own what may now be considered a vintage CDP, it is a Cambridge AZUR 840C which I primarily use as a DAC streaming TIDAL. I also have a SONY SCD-2000ES SACD player connected via COAX to it to play CD's. Well, the AZUR transport coughed up a furball and will not spin a disk, which sounded better than the Sony connection. I called a dealer and they said it would cost about $300 to repair it, I asked about (not that I have the coin) upgrading to the AZUR 851C and they were quite emphatic that my $ would be best spent repairing the 840C, they did not try to sell me anything else, again, just spend the $300. Question is, what would you do? Thanks!
