I have used a micromega stage 2 player for about eight years now and was astounded by the richness,clarity ,3-d sound stage,and sheer musicality(and still am),anyway micromega used the wrong type of lubricant on the transport,which dries out and causes tracking and no doubt reliability problems.All you have to do is clean off all the dried up lube then re-lubricate with something suitable,problem solved .So if you see one do not hesitate,you know what to do!
Micromega CD players? Any reliable models?
For some reason I've always been intrigued with their CD players and would like to own one in a second system at some point. I've done quite a bit of reading up on their CDP's and there are some real reliability concerns. The Stage series seems to have sold well but the transport and power supply failures have kept me from buying; how about the Leader, or Duo? Or??? Appreciate any inputs, Jeff
