Thanks Jafant. I have been pleased with its sound; but I found it benefited "dramatically" with ac isolation and conditioning. I found conditioning and isolating the ac provided a quite remarkable transformation. It makes me very curious about what internal parts related to power supply should be upgraded, and how.
Czarivey, one of my USB external drive died but luckily it was backed up. It cost $89 so no big deal but if a CD player drive dies, a different story. Back up your music!
this was episodically a problem with my Linn Genki in longer playing sessions. The end culprit was wear on the transport surface that gripped the top of the CD... the CD slipped when the player was warm. The fix was to build up the grip surface with thin frictionable tape which required opening up the player and the drive. A more cumbersome approach is the stick on CD rings but that's probably a good diagnostic approach if a CD has intermittent problems. If you try the stick on ring and the problems disappear the answer is found before taking the risk of working on the player.
perhaps laser pick up is dusty or dirty(prefer opening and cleaning explicively vs. using clean disk that never works), or as gears moving it gets misaligned within time. paid lotsa money, than gotta ship it tofrom repair facility...
