My cd player quit working this morning. The nerve! It's only 11 years
old! It was working fine the other night. When I tried to play a disc
this morning, nothing. "Error" it says. Error indeed.
I am in contact with the manufacturer (Bryston) who advise that if the
laser is bad, then the whole unit is kaput because repair parts are no
longer available. I contacted a reputable electronics repair shop in
Portland, who advise that it can be cleaned/lubed/etc., but if that does
not fix the problem, then further repair is not possible. Grrrrrrrrrr.
There is no competent electronic repair in my immediate area - the
nearest is 150 miles away. Grrrrrrrr.
I suppose I shall attempt to remove the top cover and see if I can clean
the laser myself. Which means I have to find and purchase the proper
tool(s). Again, grrrrrrrrrrr.
I fear that I will have to purchase a cd transport (I have an external
dac). Which one would you recommend that does not cost silly money?
