I use a CAL Icon MK II as a tranport (used it solo before) and it plays just about anything as long as you cannot feel the scratch with you finger nail. Not a perfect test, mind you, but I purchase on an average five used CD's a week and they all play fine within this guidline.
CD player with good error correction
Any recomendations for a player or transport that is capable of reading cd's that are scratched or imperfect.The first player I owned (a Philips from 1982) was great at reading damaged disks,but my present transport, allthough it sounds fantastic on perfect disks,has a lot of trouble with even very small imperfections.Thanks.
