ONKYO CD PLAYER HEAD CLEANERS BLUETOOTH

Subjectively, I can tell them apart in a blind test - just barely. The Onkyo has both coax and optical, while the Rotel has only coax. Both are well designed and built: clean, linear analog output stages using high quality parts throughout, Both CD Players have digital and analog outputs. The Logitech gets great reviews, it sounds good, better than the headphone output on the old iPhone II and it has brightened my day. The Onkyo DX-7555 and the Rotel RCD-1070.

On a more positive note today I received the latest Logitech Bluetooth Audio Adapter (the one with the depression in the top where the pairing button is located) so I am no longer tied to the stereo by a cord I can roam. That is it, I am done, I need to get on with my life, am back listening to the Panasonic A110 for the mean time and you know what, I compared both of them today and I prefer the midrange presentation of the A110 anyhow (I know 'sour grapes' etc). I could not find the part # listed on the internet. I used my Philips lens cleaning CD and there is no improvement.

Earlier in the summer the Onkyo started to skip when you walked across the wooden floors, now is skipping with perfectly good CDs. While I had the cover off I checked the part # of the Chinese CD drive. Both the NAD and the Denon developed weak lasers and started skipping now it seems after just two years the Onkyo is going the same way. WARNING: THIS INVALIDATE WARRANTY AND I DO NOT RECOMMEND DOING THIS UNLESS YOU ARE USED TO WORKING ON MODERN ELECTRONICS AND ARE FAMILIAR WITH ESD PRECAUTIONS ETC. First, gently blow out any dust or dirt which may have collected inside the lens assembly.

I am an electronics engineer, so as a last ditch effort I disconnected the C-7030 from AC power and took the cover off and VERY CAREFULLY removed and reseated the connectors associated with the laser assembly, just in case a bad connection had developed, I put the unit back together and there is no improvement, it still skips. A CD lens cleaning disc is nearly worthless except for the most minor dust as it will not completely remove grease, grime, and condensed tobacco smoke products (yet another reason not to smoke) and make matters worse by just moving the crud around. A new C-7030 is down to $139 at Amazon making repair non cost effective except I will not buy Onkyo again on principle. A new CD drive costs $80 but can only be bought by an authorized repair agent. I emailed Onkyo twice during the week but got no reply so I called Onkyo again today and they will not budge and offer a replacement or repair.
