Hi the sound from my cd player has gone overnight. One moment worked next it didn't. The transport and mechcanism still work but has the output stage just gone? Any ideas welcome
I have checked. The amp is fine as other items can work even through the allocated cd input. Also have tied different cables. This only leaves the cd which is a rather 'specialist' (!!!!!) item. Its an ah! njoe tjoeb 4000 valve player about 8 years old and has worked perfectly until the other day. The valves had never been changed, so that was the first thing I did. However with the cover off I can see that the valve stage still appears to work. However all I get is a large hum, imagine earth hum noise but 10X !!
Its a shame as the sound was just what I liked and I managed to get it on a small budget. Hope you have ideas
Sounds like a component failure, but having no experience with these players unable to suggest further: probably best to go back to the manufacturer/modifier.
