Theta reliability


I've been considering purchasing a Theta Data Basic transport, some of the reviews I have read question the reliability of the drawers and the life expectancy of the lasers.
Can you shed some more light on these reliability issues?
Thank You.

As a previous Theta Basic owner I can attest to their unreliability. I owned it for 8 yrs. and had it repaired 3 times(only once during warranty period). Drawer mechanism,laser,chip had to be replaced. Theta service was excellent. Fortunately I really liked the sound, especially the bass and PRAT. Had I known all this beforehand I probably would not have purchased the transport. I'm not trying to condemn the company as I really like their DAC's but you need to know the facts.
