My story is similar to Shadorne's, I have 4 Sony universal 5-disc players, and have never had a single problem with any of them for about the same amount of time and used daily. I have had several more expensive players in the past, Denon 2900, McIntosh MVP-861, Sony SCD-C333ES, that have given me nothing but grief.
reliable changer mechanism needed
Yes, I know, "don't use a changer," but I can't help it, my listening sessions are hours long and I don't want to get up and swap discs.
I bought a Denon DCM-27 refurb in Feb. It has frozen up on me 4 times. Last night it jammed so badly, I had to rip off the warranty seal to remove the cover. The carousel had jammed, but the transport thought the CD was in the right place, so the grab attempt was botched. The CD was wedged against the carousel. I pulled it out with needle nose pliers (tips wrapped in duct tape), jury is still out on whether or not it got scratched. I was not about to ship this changer to the manufacturer with $70 of music inside!
So...need a suggestion for a reliable changer...Onkyo? Integra? (gasp) Yamaha?
