In Reply to: "in spite of the unit having a ...temperamental track record" ..... posted by wangmr on June 18, 2014 at 06:02:56:
This is forum banter -- people claimed the CD6 failed a lot - whether that is necessarily true or that 999 happy customers stay quiet and 1/1000 screams blue murder on forums is tough to parse. The average life of disc spinners is supposedly 7 years (according to CR). I would expect a high end CD player to beat the average but even Bryston only gave 5 years on their CD player.
I also have the first Antique Sound Labs MG Head DT which folks on forums claimed was unreliable - I bought mine back in 2000 - no problems.
If you really want to know become friends with the repair tech of a major audio dealer (not on the sales side) and find out. Obviously my experience of the CD6 and MG head differ from what I have read on forums over the years. My buddy had a Chevy Cavalier that lasted 10 years without fail. I had another friend who had a Toyota Tercel that blew a head gasket with less than 50,000 miles. Statistically both are outliers but try telling either one of them that.
