I've had 3 MCD 205's, 2 MVP 851's, and most recently an MVP 861. Every single one of them (including the MVP 861) has had very significant problems tracking my CD's...all new and unmarked. I was in possession of my MVP 861 for 3 days when it started to crap out and yesterday I took it in for servicing in the Vancouver-area service depot. MacIntosh had kindly shipped a new transport mechanism for replacement on an urgent basis. I just got a call from the service tech who told me that the new transport is equally as faulty as the one it replaced and that it still will not read my CD's.
I am truly unhappy about this. I absolutley love the Mac sound and the MVP 861, when functional, sounds superb. It blows everythin else I've listened too out of the water. CD, SACD, and DVD Audio have never sounded so good. Video performance is equally astounding. But there is something truly wrong with this series of machines. I don't have a clue what the problem is (hardware or software) and I am disheartedned as hell ATM.
