I'm a decade behind, my Marantz CD player is going strong after 23 years.

Built to last in them days👍

It's not as though they are cheap to buy either!

Nope. Not many things are these days

My Exposure CDP was first built in 2004, I've owned it since 2020 hasn't missed a beat. Sounds great too.

Here's my Exposure CD 2010. For the money I paid for it sounds great. It's so dynamic sounding, and really times the beats excellently. I'll keep it until it finally dies. The drawer mechanism sounds so solid and it reads the tracks immediately. Prob one of the best pound for pound hi-fi components I've purchased.

Highly recommended.

I see the OP is a vintage train enthusiast.

My grandad drove the Golden Arrow for a decade. That's him on the left.

Anyway, back on topic...

See it has a proper music calendar too, I miss that feature most modern day players don't have that👍

Yes, if a CD has the facility also gives you the title of each track

Update on my Apollo. As a last resort I read that tweaking the laser would help to read disc! So I gave it a go turned the screw quarter turn counter clockwise, not thinking it would work! But hey presto the damn thing is now reading any disc I put in it, even on random play which it could never do before! I know this may be a short term fix , I have played nearly 10 CDs through and not one skip! Fingers crossed!
