| Hegel viking CD player @samgar2 -- my Mohican also recently developed some skipping after 3 years. I noticed it seemed to lessen as the player warmed up about 1 hour. Spoke to the dealer who thought it could be a lubrication issue, the laser mechanism rides on two rail... | |

| Hegel viking CD player I have the predecessor the Mohician. Compared to roughly a 5K vinyl setup (VPI Prime/Audiotechnica ART9 cartridge), very little difference between CD and vinyl playback, I know blasphamy but they're really close, each with some different strengths... | |

| Please recommend King Crimson albums… Longtime Crim fan, since they changed the band lineup (except for Fripp) alot in the early days, this question is challenging. Wondering if what appealed about the Court album is Greg Lake's vocals, they never had another vocalist of that caliber ... | |
