My booster. One can't be too careful. The Rippingtons, Let It Ripp (album)

Even Bo agrees. If I have The Rippingtons playing, he's usually curled up on the floor somewhere near my feet. If I switch to blues or classic rock, he gets up and goes into another room. He sticks around for a few other smooth jazz artists, but not all of them. If I play Miles Davis, he can't get out of the room fast enough. It's really funny watching him.

Acoustic Alchemy, Aart (album)

Yes, yes, very wise, always good to be safe.

if you're into 'art' and looks versus sound quality... here's an interesting CD player I just saw advertise....It's CD playing picture frame! https://www.amazon.com/COOLGEEK-Transparent-Bluetooth-Removable-Wall-Mount/dp/B0FT3CK5SY?th=1

One of the greatest female voices of all time. I can always listen to Aretha.

Baby, I Love You - Aretha Franklin (#59 Billboard Top 100 Hits 1967)

When it comes early, I usually need a booster before the day is over.

3rd Force, Collective Force (album)

Georgy Girl - The Seekers (#57 Billboard Top 100 Hits 1967)

There's A Kind Of Hush (All Over The World) - Herman's Hermits (#50 Billboard Top 100 Hits 1967)

Thievery Corporation, Symphonik (album) Two of the female vocalists on this album reminds me of Sade.

Whiter Shade Of Pale - Procul Harem (#38 Billboard Top 100 Hits 1967)

Glad that is came early today, I felt a deficiency coming on.

Welcome to the forum. The HR895 came out in 1992 (not 1982 , typo?). I've had mine since 1999. Nice unit. Crackling sound is often caused by bad pre-driver transistors. A relatively easy fix. Hopefully you can get it up and running again. If you have any problems, be sure to post them on the forum first.

My daily dose. The Rippingtons, Life in the Tropics (album)

As great as this is, I prefer the Disturbed cover.

Somebody To Love - Jefferson Airplane (#33 Billboard Top 100 Hits 1967)

Was just watching a couple review vids last night, not sure why as I'm not in the market myself, have an OPPO BDP-95 I seldom use. The new Fii0 R2R looks interesting..

Uriah Heep The Magician's Birthday

From 1 Bob to another, Thanks, Brother! Bob

Myself I'm a OPPO or Marantz person. If I had to replace my current player It sure would be a very hard decision, and I might just get both. The OPPO because it can play SACD's, they are still supported as @Sk1Bum mentioned, and other reasons, and then a new Marantz because it has a warranty and it will easily integrate into my new Marantz AV unit. I also like having the ability to introduce a separate DAC unit. This might give me the ability to upgrade the DAC with a newer unit in the future. Prior to the purchase would be a trip to my local store for an audition of the unit in question. A purchase for me might look like this, OPPO BDP-105D or other similar models or Marantz CD6007 Along with an separate DAC Maybe a Schitt Modi 5 Good luck on your search for a replacement!!
