cdp's you had glitches with

I've heard quite a few customers complaining about the performance/reliability of the Cayin 17.

Mechans,
Sorry to hear about your Jolida problems. All too often we tend to evaluate component usage by years instead of hours. Statistically a cd player (or amp or preamp, etc.) used 5 hours per week should last far longer than one used 30 hours per week. Stands to reason.
There is a reason that inexpensive players such as Jolida, Cayin, Rega, Eastern Electric, etc. are inexpensive. Now I'm not trashing these products; they serve a useful purpose and have a strong following. However, in order for the manufacturers to sell products at these levels, corners must be cut including cheap labor and low quality parts. So long as there is a demand for $800 cd players, somebody will make them.
Good luck.

I meant hours of usage as opposed to years of ownership.
Sorry
