My Music Hall CD 25 just died

If it won't read the disc, I'd obviously suspect something in the optical/laser head assembly. At this point given its age, I wouldn't sink any crazy money into it - if you can have it evaluated cheaply, maybe clean the lens then I'd give it a whirl. If not, to the great recycling center in the sky (most likely China).

I agree with Rar1. The Marantz 6004 is an excellent cdp for the money and carries a 3 year warranty.

Rusty -

you could buy another Music Hall or Creek cd player?
