Any new listening updates to the Ayre cx-7cd player? Since this is a brand new design, does it make sense to delay a purchase for 6-8 months? Thanks.. 
Who can repair a Resolution Audio CD-50???
The response from Resolution Audio is very disappointing. In my opinion, they should either repair your unit or provide a less costly upgrade to the newer unit. If the Philips drive is no longer available or cannot be repaired, your unit has no va...

Anybody auditioned new Wadia 301 CDP?
Any new comments on the Wadia 301 CD player? I heard it in the store but was not impressed due to poor associated equipment. I heard the Linn Ikemi vs. the Meridian 588 and the Linn sounded much better. I also compared the Linn to the Rega Jupiter... 
Resolution Audio Owners - How Do You Contact Them?
Resolution Audio products are only distributed via the factory. The CD55 model is out of production and they have a new model in the works but not yet available. I suggest you contact them again but my sense is an audition will not be possible. Yo...

BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD
My BAT VK-D5 CD Player 'stopped' reading CD's over the weekend. The word "err" appeared ever time I tried loading a new CD (changing the CD placement has no impact). I called BAT and they said I need a new transport assembly. It seems the transpor...

BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD
The solution recommended above by Ted seems to work okay. I place the CD forward (a little) in the drawer and the tracking works. This is an example of very poor design by BAT (and others as described above). Thanks for this great suggestion. chee... 
BAT VK-D5 CD Player sometimes does not play a CD
