RE: CD Player Laser Deterioration

The lasers do have a finite life - and having purchased research units for instrument development - there is definitely a wide variety out there -
I would have thought that due to FCC regulations that the Laser in a CD player would have been downrated - or depowered to an extent such that the useful life would have been quite long indeed - however 20+ years is a long life and as has been said before - can't sell new ones till the old one stops working....
I guess I should start looking for a new player -
Happy listening
