Is the Mephisto II reliable?


I heard this unit at a dealer and was impressed by the sound but the fact that it has a tracking control bugs me. Is this thing finicky about tracking? Do you have to adjust it a lot?

I have had the mephisto II for over a year (the transport and separate dac) and have had nothing but pleasure from it. There have been no mechanical issues. The tracking is really only for bad 'ie scratched' discs and then will help read ones that are otherwise unplayable. I use it very little though not all my discs are in perfect shape. Any questions feel free to drop me a note.

I would concurr with Brian's much more accurate answer. Pierre Lurne has been extremely helpful and provides great customer support. I have just recieved the new power cord and will put up a post in the next while once I have heard how it sounds. A question I keep forgetting to answer m. lurne and perhaps brian can answer is what do you do as far as cleaning the lens. I try to make sure it never gets any dust on if but have you ever cleaned yours? (hope this isn't hijacking this post). Again the unit is very reliable in my experience. Gary
