It is funny you posted about this because I had a problem with my Stibbert yesterday after putting a cd into the unit. It just stopped functioning and I couldn't figure out why. I opened the unit up and saw the cd had somehow come out of the area where is was supposed to be seated. I pushed into the right position and it was back working normally again. I will say that I feel my Stibbert with sound fusion stand is an extremely good player. I also own a highly touted Marantz sa-7 since last week and I would say it is a very close horse race between the 2 players. If the Koala is anywhere near the Stibbert in sound quality, you will be very happy from a sonic perspective. Bob
Bluenote Reliability
Any Bluenote Koala Tube cd player owners care to comment on reliability. I heard the player and really like the sound, but the build looks a bit iffy.I have had allot of reliability issues with cd players lately(exposure, copland)so i am sick of servicing downtime.Any owner input would be much appreciated.
