Rega Planet Original


I recently purchased a Rega Planet CD player from a fellow
Audiogon member and noticed that the unit cuts out or skips on all of my CD's. I know that Rega does not employ Error correction circuitry in these units, but geeze! Could it be a bad laser? I hate to have to send in for repair! If I do
who do you recomend for service in the lower 48? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Agree with Jgiacalo - these players have no isolation - will skip if they are picking up anything in terms of bass feeding back into themselves.Try isolating it and see if the problems go away - simple experiment is to buy/borrow some longer cables and move the player away from your other equipment - if the skipping disappears - then you know what the problem is.For this test the quality of the connecting cable is of no importance - cheaapies will work just fine.
These are still outrageously musical players.
