Rega Planet Original


I recently purchased a Rega Planet CD player from a fellow
Audiogon member and noticed that the unit cuts out or skips on all of my CD's. I know that Rega does not employ Error correction circuitry in these units, but geeze! Could it be a bad laser? I hate to have to send in for repair! If I do
who do you recomend for service in the lower 48? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll probably find that you need to replace the laser. I did. The originals are getting long in the tooth and the lasers are starting to crap out. Rega did not give me a satisfactory answer on replacement. I could recommend a shop or two to do the replacement but it's probably going to set you back three or four hundred bucks.
