Densen CD player acting up
Good afternoon, brainboxes!
Lately my CD player has been having a problem playing (Densen Beat 400 plus).
When I put a disc in, it plays for a few seconds, then stops briefly (a fraction of a second) then continues playing. It may do this two or three times. It only seems to happen with the first track, and if I skip to the next track it's fine. Just this last couple of weeks it will often stop playing altogether on this first track.
I looked around and found on one forum mention of replacing the laser, which apparently is a Sony KSS 213C.
Is the laser the likely culprit, and is replacing it something a technical numpty (me) could tackle? Or is fault perhaps something else? I don't want to ditch the player as it sounds very good (to my ears) and the missus actually likes the looks.
I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in
T/T: Inspire Monarch, X200 tonearm, Ortofon Quintet Blue. Phono: Project Tube Box CD: Marantz CD6006 (UK Edition); Amp: Musical Fidelity A5 Integrated.

Forget the past, it's gone. And don't worry about the future, it doesn't exist. There is only NOW.
