Ayon CD transport problems
Hi guys, I've been using an Ayon CD-1s for 7-8 years, and here's a simple fix for the transport issue. You will need a technician to open up the player to fix it.It has to do with the tiny "button' in the inner lip of the transport tray - between ...

Brf - Yes, I'm think replacement of the motor in the new version of the Classic 1 will counter that issue.Stringreen - How much does that new counterweight cost?

Macster - No, it won't! Lol...Lp2Cd - Interesting you should bring up the issue of balanced AC power. In fact, that's how I've been running my system for years. I've got a dedicated 32amp spur running from the mains to my room and the balanced tra...

Bifwynne... I've yet to set up and play the new Classic 1. My old Classic 1 had a problem. It's all explained in one of my posts following the original post. It was the TT itself. So I traded in that Classic for an Aries 3, which has been hum-free...

It happened! I just got myself a new Classic 1 yesterday... again! It's the latest version, of course. I can't really explain what got into me! Yet to unbox it. Waiting for a cartridge. If the same issue crops up, I'm writing to Harry and Mat.... ... 
Rega Naiad - £30k ... sure, order me a couple
Don't get me wrong ... am posting here to inform. I've been a regular Rega user for 25 years (the Planar 3 was my first proper TT) and have owned a number of Rega TTs right up to the P7. But I don't necessarily have to believe everything Roy is se... 
Polk Audio

Rega RP40 Anniversary Edition turntable
It will retail at a 50% premium over the standard RP3, which is a decent turntable. But seems to me that Rega is trying to squeeze the legendary Planar 3 tradition for all it's worth. 
Bluenote Stibbert Tube CD/DVD player
This is a great CD player, and I believe it will also play DVD-Audio (if you remember that format). It uses a DVD drive. Sounds even better via its XLR outputs. Tube rolling beckons as well ...

The Aries 3 has its motor separated from the plinth, so the Classic's earlier issues won't apply. I'm enjoying my Aries 3 with Classic platter and Dynavector XX2 MkII cartridge. Hoping to get a newer Classic some day.Hope you're enjoying your syst...
