Just bought a Schiit Modi 2 Uber for just under $60 shipped. :thumbsup: A friend of mine has one and I tried it out. It doesn't have the clicking relays like my Bifrost. :thumbsup:

I replaced the laser assembly with one I bought on ebay and it's no longer skipping. All is well and there is World peace now.

I managed to get the Denon DVD-2900 up and running today using generic belts purchased through Amazon. Tested it several times and it's flawless. :banana::banana::banana: Yesterday a friend of mine gave me a DVD-2800 that has a slight tray issue and it won't read CDs at all. Neither burned...

Yes I usually use the optical Toslink. I'll try the coax. Thank you!

Sony DVP-S7000 Marantz CD6006 Onkyo C7030 All cause the relays to click.

Would that upgrade stop the relays from clicking?

I have an older Bifrost with an Uber upgrade. I have stopped using it in my main system as the relays click quite a bit and I find that annoying. It's now serving duty connected to an old computer via optical in a back bedroom that doesn't get used much. For a number of years it spent time...

Thank you for the information. I appreciate it. :thumbsup:

Thank you, Blue Shadow. :thumbsup: I've taken the front panel off of the unit and looked at the pulleys and belt to make double sure it is the belt that is causing the trouble. It is. The little wheel spun like crazy, but because the belt was slipping, the larger wheel didn't spin at all. The...

Thank you for the link. I'll remove the belt and measure it in the next couple of days.

I'm not 100% sure, but from everything I've seen on the web about the DVD-2900 not opening properly, it's been linked to a belt. That's what I plan to do first to see if I can DIY repair this thing. I may be a misalignment of the mechanism and I'll check that also. But most suggestions seem to...

Not that I'm aware of, but it may be a "square" belt.

Thank you.

I have an older DVD-2900 that works flawlessly except the tray doesn't want to open. I have to pry it open with a small screwdriver or box cutter blade. Once the tray starts to open, it's fine and opens the rest of the way on its own. It also closes fine on its own. Any recommendations for an...

I bought a used Marantz CD6006 a few weeks back. The player looks absolutely mint and the seller claims he hadn't used it much. For the first two weeks it worked flawlessly. However, it started skipping about a week ago. I opened it up to clean the laser lens and am VERY impressed with how well...

That's a pretty slick idea! :thumbsup:

I purchased my last album in 1981 or '82. I believe it was Sammy Hagar's Standing Hampton.

I'm not really allowed to discuss it because of an NDA :deal:, but let's just say it may involve memory metal from around mid-1947.

You, Sir, are a gentleman and a man of good taste. :thumbsup:

Only by the snobbish. I've been running Crown XLS Drivecore amps for a while now. Whisper quiet, clean, plenty of power, built-in high or low pass and a great value. What's not to like?

Yep. That's exactly what my brother and I did with my mom's stuff when she died. We didn't want or need anything she valued and neither did the auction house.

I like the picture in the first post. That's exactly what I think of classic rock ... retirement home music. :D No, I don't change my listening chair depending on what type of music I listen to. I change my listening chair depending on which room I'm in as 3 rooms in my house (and the garage)...

I assume someone has already mentioned Take This Job And Shove It? :D

I'm partial to these knobs. :D

I've never used them, but wish I would have. Why? Tinnitus. I've been to see local bands that were much louder than big rock concerts due to them being in a smaller venue.
