    Do you fancy parting with your spare???? I could make it worth your while adding a few carefully chosen components?
    Hi. Apologies for not responding to your message - I completely forgot about the thread. Both my CD3s are mint, with remotes (though one of the remotes seems not to function - both players receive remote instructions however).

    I'm in two minds about parting with the spare. I tried a couple of times on eBay but had deadbeat bidders involved. And, the more I listen to it, the more fun it seems! But, maybe with the right offer?

    I'd be interested in learning about what upgrades you think were suited to it. Some would say a new clock, but who knows? Net Audio's Rock Clock looks interesting, as does the Neutron Star from NewClassD. I'm more inclined to imagine that power supply regulation and cap 'refreshments' would yield a lot. Perhaps attention to the output stage?

    Do you have experience with the design?
