Micro Mega Stage 1,2 or 3 owners HELP ME


I have the Micro Mega (don't hear it mentioned at all, on the 'gon.'twas highly recommended in Stereophile, which led me to buying it) for the last 6 years, and have been extremely happy with the sound. Maybe ignorance is bliss, because when I hear other CD players, I'm listening to a host of other eletronics, speakers, (you know the deal here) and other stuff. I would love to hear from Micro Mega owners, first hand, (unless of course, audiogoners have some real reliable second hand info) what CD players they, if any, have upgraded to, and what they're hearing now, that wasn't happening before? Thanks in advance, warren

I have had a Micromega Stage2 for eight years. Past two years it has been collecting dust in my living room with a faulty laser unit, which is no longer in stock with Philips according to my local Philips repair service.

I sadly miss the lush, warm, enticing sound from the Stage2, but it had a tendency to refuse playing some disks, that would play faultlessly in other players. My system consisted of Naim Pre and Power amps, B&W speakers, which with the Stage2 sounded excellent.

Any information on how and where to find a working laser unit for my Stage2 would be most welcome.
