I just got into this conference today for the first time
so if this has been covered before sorry.
I looking for opinions of sony's cdp50 is there anyone out there
that owns one besides me?
If so what are your opinions?
I dont have a "golden ear" but really like what I hear.
I have also seen references to modifications being done to magnavox
players but nothing for sony. Do any exist?
thanx, jerry

Is this the portable version available in UK with slide in power
supply? If so I have one. I'm very happy with the reproduction but
had a bad experience of Sony service when it needed repair. My son
dropped it (about 1 foot on to a carpet!) and the laser went out.I
took it to the Sony service centre in Leeds who charged me 144 poundsto
fit a new optical unit(?).When I tried it out it would skip tracks
or stop every time the cat walked past!Back to Sony whose response
was "That's the best you can expect considering the unit was dropped:
the chassis is probably microscopically distorted causing the laser
to track badly. Needless to say this did not satisfy me and after a
long and sometimes heated phone call to Sony customer relations
dept. in London they agreed to replace the unit free of any further
charges.This whole saga took 6 MONTHS!!! This implies to me that
Sony aren't capable of repairing these players quickly or reliably,
if at all. Good listening.
