Thanks 🙏. Sorry, I don't know any available provider for parts, you can try find it on ebay, maby. Hope you'll find it 🙏, it is really a great player 👍

😆 it was a small one 😀, thanks for watching 🙏

@@eur1gys yes, some people did change it succsseffuly, don't know if the quality as a transport remains the same though. It's not easy to replace it but it's doable. Still have this unit working as a transport for CDs but i'm looking to buy a Esoteric or Acupphase SACD player now. 🙏

​@HiFi-JV the problem with this player is the grease that hardens with the passing of the years. Putting oil without removing every bit of that grease makes it worse. Once I discovered that issue, I was capable of restoring not only the extraordinary resolution in sound but also the gradual loss of recognition of the SACD layer in a hybrid disc. I'm a perfectionist, almost pathological, so I was willing to risk a machine that was functioning pretty well for the sake of increased audio quality and the reproduction of the DSD encoded sacd layer. Worth it? Depends of the success or failure of the operation.

​@@salvadorrodenas3071Thanks for sharing that. Where is located that grease? I could try to do that

@HiFi-JV I had three spare laser assemblies. I changed the original when the player quit detecting the high definition layer, thinking that a new one would solve the problem, but in a very short period of time, the problem arises again. I cleaned the lens without success, don't use alcohol please, and lubricacion the moving parts. The mechanism freezed when the oil mixed with the original grease, so I put another laser assembly, also new, unused. The player worked again, but no playing of hybrid disc sacd layers. I started to connect the dots, so I disassembled completely the shafts and every part that would need cleaning. I had nothing to lose. I cleaned that mechanism and let it rest a few years without knowing for sure if it would work again. One day, frustrated and daring to risk everything, I changed one for the other, and the miracle occurred. You first must remove until the last residue before putting that bearing oil slightly, of course. Tomorrow I will give you the brand. I bought it on e-bay if I remember correctly. If you are handy, you can let it a try, but I won't accept any responsibility if you fail in the intent. Tomorrow we will speak again.

To my shame, this morning tested my player and it couldn't read the sacd layer of a hybrid disc. Please forgive me. I wrote a more elaborate response but I don't know were it went. The sound quality improved but nothing else so under my point of view, it isn't worth the risk to ruin your player. I'M REALLY SORRY 😞

24 years have passed and it still reads CDs, DVDs and SACDS fine, only the best players can do that and this is one off the best players Sony has made

Temos de nos conhecer um dia então que explico-te os detalhes pessoalmente 😅😘

@@HiFi-JV ,bora😜😘

😆🤣🤣, I'm nothing like him 🤣

Yes, dolby C it's less compatible. I often did my recordings without dolby, I'd rather prefere some hiss tape than use the dolby. I believe the recordings sounds more natural.

Thanks! 🙏

Boa tarde, são 40w rms com colunas de 8ohms

Obrigado 🙏, grava muito bem. Nas gravações efetuadas com este deck, preferi usar cassetes de metal, Type IV e não usar nenhum dolby, mesmo que na reprodução fique um ligeiro hiss, achei preferível. Fica mais puro, o som

Still a good deck, no doubt, and with the Linn arm should be even better, congratulations, keep it 🙏

São muito boas, tocam muito bem e ainda por cima são lindas 🤩. Com o tempo, o uso e o calor, os valores dos condensadores dos crossovers podem alterar-se e provocar diferenças na frequência de corte ou reduzir o output do tweeter. Acredito que só terá a ganhar se fizer um recap ao crossover, eu no entanto não alteraria os valores de fábrica. Se o fizer partilhe por favor o resultado e ao mesmo tempo deu-me uma ideia para me entreter assim que tenha tempo 😃. Obrigado 🙏 Boas audições

Muito obrigado pelas recomendações. Estou a pensar pedir à Tecnológica a tal operação de manutenção. Darei feedback quando conseguir tirar conclusões. Boas Audições. João Cristo

Merci pour le commentaire. Ce Denon est une excellente machine, en effet comme toute la gamme se termine en 60, j'avais le 560, le 860 et ce 1060 avec moi et ils sont tous d'une construction exemplaire. J'aimerais aussi entendre l'amplificateur haut de gamme de cette gamme, le PMA 1560

Yes they invested heavily in the SACD format and the players at that time was a clear example of that, built with impressive quality.

I agree with you about the ES range. I loved the minidisc format, I still have one working but it's not from ES range, and yes, I will make a video of the deck as soon as I can, it's a DTC 60 ES DAT player, it's a wonderful great sounding machine.

The SCD-1 was a great sounding player, I had it playing in my system for a period of time years ago, sad that Sony doesn't continue to guarantee their optic replacement.

It is an good idea to make a blind test. Maby I'll do that someday, invite some friends and make a vídeo of it to see the results.

I can hear the difference between CD and compressed audio immediately. I can tell the difference between hires audio and CD assuming of course the hires came from high res masters and high res tracking - or good analog originally. I've done this blind out of curiosity.

@@redneckcoder Since no one can, I don't believe you. Blind tests need to be conducted properly, and in every properly conducted double blind test, people's results are about 50/50.

@@Wizardofgosz LOL general population studies yes, not people who actually know what differences to listen for between them. NEXT! And you're on ignore now cuz you're stupid.

@@Wizardofgosz lol... generalizations are not becoming of science. "no one" is a blanket generalization. The studies showed an average ability. They did not show every individual was about 50/50. Learn some statistics before spouting off next time.

Thankyou 🙏, I apreciate your comment. Take care ✨

Hi. It's very silent, no noise at all. It's dificult to isolate the phono stage sound from the overall sonority of the pre. But the comparisons I made with the phono stage of the Electrocompaniet EC1, that also as a very good phono stage, I prefered the Coplands, the Electrocompaniet had a more open and detailed midrange but the liquidity of the Copland it's the best for me. Think also depends on the associated equipment

@@HiFi-JVawesome, thanks!

Yes, you are wright, they will give their best in rooms no greather than aproximately 20m2. Greater than that, the bass response could be compromised. But also depends on other factors. A friend of mine as them in a large room, maby 30m2 or more and he is happy with them.

Thankyou for your commentary, it's a very good piece of electronics and I just love that holographic soundstage 👍

If you mean Dan Santini, sadly he passed away suddenly about a year ago. He is greatly missed by the audiophile community.

Sorry to hear that 😢@@gbrm6077

The source selector looks a bit flimsy too.

Yes I think so. Didn't have the oportunity to compare the 301 with the later 305, but I don't like seeing the tubes horizontally mounted. But that's my opinion. Don't know how it sounds though.

Hi, thankyou for your commentary. On Coplands web page they say it was Ole Møller the founder of Copland. He used to work at Ortofon, also a Danish company, designing MM and MC preamps. Maby thats why the phono input of this baby is so damn good 👌.

Obrigado 🙏

I guess the power transformer it's also different to earn that extra 10 w power. Didn't compare them both side by side though. Other than that they are pretty the same.

Oui, cette gamme Denon a été conçue pour être à la hauteur du CD qui sortait à l'époque et qui promettait Le Son Parfait sans distorsion. Le 1560 est encore magnifique aujourd'hui.

@@HiFi-JV absolument

​@@HiFi-JVque pensez-vous du denon pma 2500ne cordialement

Je suis désolé mais je n'ai pas encore ecuté ce modelle

Olá, obrigado por ver os vídeos e elogios, ainda tenho comigo esse leitor, faz parte da minha colecção, por isso posso fazer o que me pediu, mas só consigo fazer isso dentro de dois ou três dias, quando regressar a Portugal porque de momento encontro-me na Colômbia. abraço

Grazie davvero tanto😊😊😊😊non speravo in una risposta....mi daresti una mano incredibile!!!!!Aspetto tue notizie con Gioia 😊😊😊😊grazie,grazie,grazie

I made a video with the details you asked of the counterweight of the Technics SL25B here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8uAabtzxt2qgmg.html
