New CDP

No it doesn't, it SKIPS.

I guess I need to find the link to the site the explains fixing these things.

Leave the lid off and change the darn disc while you're at it.

Report back of the behavior in the and get a picture of the tray part.

There may screws to adjust if the clamp is wonky but on the other hand the disc may be the culprit and the clamp show up at the START by wobbling, even the CD going 'backwards'.

I'm not an expert on laser diodes and servos.

Use a commercial release, not a CD-R.
 
It should read whatever you throw at it. If it skips it probably needs either a new laser or a laser realignment. You need to find someone experienced in setting up lasers. This usually needs a test disc of some sorts and a scope to do properly.
 
When it was on my bench it was perfect. I brought it in the house and it starts to skip. I have played only real CDs. not CDRs. They don't skip on my other CDPs. The last time I sent a Carver CDP to be fixed I never saw it again.

Sorry can't help you out much. I had two Carver CDP's about 15 years ago and both did the same thing yours does. I never had them repaired because in those Pre-ebay days they were selling for about $25 locally. My two ended in the curbside garbage pickup and the scavengers grabbed them before the city could. Maybe you have one of the ones I tossed? :joker:

Hope that answers your question.

I say put the CDP in your cassette imprinter and turn the stamping pressure all the way up. It can't hurt any. :reindeer:

Not totally. If your read assembly or servo is bad the parts aren't so expensive. It requiresand oscilloscope and stuff but there is a sBay store called Liberty Electronics who has lots of laser and hybrid IC amp stuff and seems reasonable. I send more details later. I must sleep.
 
Well I have found a Califoria Audio Labs CDP and an Audio Alchemy transport wirth power supply that is broken. Both have gotten good reviews. I may go with the Audio Alchemy and get a Music Hall DAC. Does any one here think they could fix the Alchemy?
Thanks
