My Jolida 100 skips even on new cds. How to fix?

Hello,

I have a Jolida 100 that is a few years old.

The player has starting skipping more and more, and now it is at the point where it skips even on quite new CDs.

I have tried one of those "CD player cleaners" where it is the CD with the brushes attached that you put in the player, but this has no beneficial effect.

Has anyone run into this, and does anyone have a solution of how to fix it (aside from sending it for repair)

thank you
Todd

Bartokfan - You win the helpful post of the year award. Seriously, why don't you just go listen to some more Bartok on that Cayin of yours, or maybe some 64kbps mp3s.

Others - thanks for the help. I'll give it the "dry cotton ball" treatment today and see if that helps.

Anyone who has successfully lubed the sled rails here? If so - can you let me know what lube you used?

thanks

I'd have to agree with Distortion...trash Bartokfan & keep the Jolida.

If there is one opinion I've seen over & over about the Jolida CDP is that it's VERY forgiving on poor recordings or beat up CDs. Unlike bartok, I've owned a Jolida for near two years and have no issues with how it performs mechanicaly or sonically. I have no plans to replace it at this point.

My transport/dac is a different brand but every once in a while it will get tempermental for no apparent reason and not read or skip on certain cd's. Usually but not always they will be cd's that I burned myself. Then again for no reason it will just start working ok. Is it humidity/heat/static build up in the room? I don't know, but after you try rail lubing or cleaning the lens or whatever maybe just unplug it and let it sit a couple of days.
