Worth fixing?


I have a Jolida CD 100. It is in need of repair. With shipping etc. it will probably cost around $325 for repair and shipping. I still use mostly CDs. Is it worth fixing, or what might be a reasonable alternative?

I say if you really like the player and trust the repair facility to do it right for you to experience years more of enjoyment, then by all means have it repaired.  You will not find anything new on the current market for $325.00 that is gong to have the build quality and heft that your Jolida has.

I ran into a similar situation with a Cambridge Audio 840C that the repairs would have cost upwards of $500.00.  I thought long and hard about it but decided to sell it "as is" for $225.00.  I owned another 840C at the time and the broken 840C was an extra piece sitting idle, that's why I sold it and let the new owner decide if he was going the repair route.

"Nope, you can buy a NAD for that money that sounds better ."

I meant for $325.00 and get the heft and build quality.

With that said, I think NAD CD player sound fantastic.  I have rotated many through my systems and my trusty C542 still trumps them all.
