Hegel viking CD player


Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the Hegel viking recently introduced CD player?

Is it worth 5k?

Thanks

I had the Mohegan which had tremendous sound quality, however it had numerous quality issues and has been replaced by a CEC belt transport. A great move.

 

Had a problem reading discs, or would skip. Sent back to their repair facility twice and still had the same problem when it came back. SQ is excellent, however their tray loading the disc is flimsy as well. Perhaps it will not cause you any issue, it worked well for 2 years and then started causing trouble. Assembled in China, that might be the issue. Good luck with yours as the sound is quite enjoyable when it works.

The latest situation is that the cd drawer will not open up. Then if I can open it, when I put a CD in and close it, it bounces back open. Big disappointment with a $5000.00 CD player.

I have pretty much scraped it out!

Good luck and sure hope they can fix yours! Nice people, however after 2 service calls and still a problem, I have scraped it out.

 

I imagine they tried their best, but the unit failed shortly after getting it back. They should have replaced the disc drive, instead they just lubricated it. 

Good luck with yours!
