If I"m not mistaken, CDM 1 loaders are the only loaders made of metal. Players using CDM 1 include Philips CD 960, LHH 1000R and the Marantz CD 94 and CD 99 (not sure about the CD 95).
The CD 99 was the top model in its time and almost exclusively found in the Japanese market. CD 99SE uses the TDA 1541S2 DAC.
The CDM 0 was used in broadcase equipment. Philips LHH 2000 uses this lens.
Any other players using CDM 1 and 0?
Most importantly, any sources of these lens?
Thanks

I have a small problem with the drawer that should be fixable (the drawer needs some help to get in/out). Also, sometimes CD's have ticks or it takes a while before the next track is found. It seems the problem is worse with a cold player, so maybe somewhere are bad solder joints. I cleaned the lens before and the problems were less worse after that. Sometimes the player works ok!
(BTW: the output digital connector is damaged. I am looking for a new one...)

Hi Ola,
Frankly I don't know the sound of the Pioneer.
Stereophile measured the player in standard condition I presume that is without a new low-jitter clock.
I had to repair and check the repairs of others of too many Pioneer players. That made me to hate them (the player!). If the players transport has a lot of adjustment pots do not touch these!

As newcomer I still have some moderatorial delay of a few hours. Understandable but a bit confusing as my reply seems to be late.
So for:
Prometheus - CD100, CD200, CD300 series. Specially the CD200 series have a lot of space to do mods. And they have the SOPHI board inside. Have fun!
ManUtd/ Fedde - I do not recommend lens cleaners as they might damage the optical coating on the lens. The same for alcohol and alike. Use compressed air instead. If you can't clean it with air then use a drop of distillated water and let it dry completely.

I will always go with the CDM1. I
I had the Marantz CD95 and also the older Meridien MCD-Pro (anyone rememeber that 14 bit TDA1540?!).
And I had a chance 12 years ago to compare the Krell MD10, Marantz CD95 and the Pioneer. The Krell is also based on CDM1 and is beefed up on the power supply. The output was fed to a Theta ProBasic. The Krell and Marantz won the Pioneer by miles.
I always regretted that I passed on the two boxed CD99 and got the CD95 for $$ reason. That was a bad decision.

Elso, do you have a service manual for the CD931 and CD 930?
By now I'm testing the external DAC (very similar to DDDAC since I found a 12V 7.2 Ah battery for so cheap that I couldn't resist... next step will be the ASR), but as soon as my 931 arrives I want to play with it (direct IIS)...
Cheers

Hi, Pal,
I got CD950 which sounds well.
I heard that CD880 & CD960 is much better. Now I found a CD960 without variable (RCA) out in the 2nd market.
Does it mean this CD960 has no volume control?
Is it worth to get one while I've already got CD950 which has volume control?
Your opinion, please.
Happy listening!
