Indeed but mine is a CDM9 the last of the single beam swing arm mechanisms. Still with a tray drive wheel which literally falls to bits but you have to take the rough with the smooth. It was all about getting information from a CD - there were no other objectives - and it shows.

Similar experience with my Rotel RDD-980 CD transport. Both the CD52 and the RDD-980 have a single beam swing arm Philips CD mechanism. I don't think they can be beaten.

My Rotel RDD-980 CD transport and matching RDP-980 DAC are stilling going strong and providing wonderful sound. I can only concur that the old Philips CD mechs with single laser are really hard to beat.

I'm really unsure what to say. It's really difficult for me to comment on this article without seeming adverse, negative or hypercritical. The first point that needs addressing is the furry mammoth lurking in the corner of the room. Hi-Res audio - I'm sort of making an assumption that your...

Damn, didn't know this thread existed. Now I have so much music to go through. Keep posting everyone. I will catch up - eventually.

It's all kicking off again. MQA seems a very abrasive set of initials. I'm not going to add fuel to the fire by giving my opinion on the MQA format. If you're happy with it then I'm happy for you. If you don't like it then simply don't use it. All I will add is that after all the furore...

If the cover photos are usually OK, the content..........?

'You don't judge a book by the cover' verbosely expanded to just under 900 words.

Strange to write this review and not mention Andrew Jones.
