Audionerd Posted May 31, 2019 Author Posted May 31, 2019 Fair point georgehifi. I've now tried this player with burnt CDs as well as originals and it sailed through everything. It reads quickly, indicating that there's plenty of life left in the laser. My friend mainly listened to radio (with arguably the world's best tuner and antenna at the time) so I doubt that he used this player all that much. The only reason this is for sale is that the owner sadly passed away much too young.

Cheers George I am using one of these for a number of years. Used to have Jadis and 47 Labs CD players before that. I did the Tent Lab mods which you can read about on my showcase thread titled "my new friends". I have played all sorts of CD's including originals and burnt without issues. I use it as a transport with a Concert Fidelity DAC.
