- It is all in the video.
Just want to correct what I said, that of course the output trace I showed on the oscilloscope was SPDIF and not Toslink (to which the DAC was connected).
And of course, earlier on I called a servo box "a power supply". Senior moment as they say. - Věda a technologie
I'm happy with my TASCAM CD200 (265€!) as a CD Transport connected to the Technics SU-G700M2. The drive is the famous TEAC CD-5020A
Hi, i have this same cxc also and the drawer is noisy and vibrates/jitters when its closing. Im guessing this a belt problem and needs a replacement. Can you please tell me if this cxc uses the same belts as the azur models?
The same meaning square rubber belts ;-) I don't normally measure belts but simply fit them from the stock I have. Sorry that I can't be more helpful
@@hear-net-auOk thanks I get it now there are square belts on eBay that fit there previous models azur
where are the digital and analoge parts in sthis player actually?
There is no analogue section, for this is a transport only. It's output is SPIDIF and Toslink
Few years lifespan at best, another prime example of planned obsolescence by putting a cover on the servo with the heatsink all around.
Add crap quality electrolytics to the mix and it will be a doorstop in 5-10 years, if the laser doesn't give up earlier.
Exact same stupid design as NAD and current Audiolab, I've seen tens of broken ones already.
I did not want to be that harsh, because people might think that because I normally only deal with vintage stuff, I am biased against modern equipment.
But indeed, you are probably right. A lot of folk only want to buy new stuff with warranty (which I also give on the vintage gear) and are worried about lasers. Very often the new gear breaks down and parts are no linger available 5 years since the manufacture date.
I also wanted to see what was inside, because Audiolab and Cambridge are often mentioned in "what transport to buy" forum discussions.
Few years , crap quality, you are clueless.
@@hear-net-au Sadly this is how they're designed. I've had a beautiful Audiolab 8200CD that had massive, multiple power supplies and heatsinks everywhere = but no ventilation holes at the top! Besides that, the electrolytics were C-tier Lelon and other junk and placed in a row, just between 2 rows of heatsinks. Needless to say the player died after a few years and opening the top cover revealed about 50% of the caps were either bulged or leaking at the top already.
Lead free soldering and multi-layer boards only add insult to the injury, it wasn't actually worth fixing anymore 😞
Great sound,,but my mates wouldnt play copies..
