2nd Yamaha player arrived. will not read the discs. reads "no disc" with it loaded with discs. no exchanges this time. getting a refund. ill continue looking for a Marantz sa8004 or 05 or an other brand new Yamaha 600 else where. thanks guys
Well, the yamaha c600 showed up yesterday. Haven't spent but maybe 10 minutes with it. Cant get it to operate. Loaded some cd's in it, but can't get them to play. Door keeps popping out . have to have more time to figure out what i'm doing wrong.
Listening now. I rebias kt77 to .40 from the .45 and i think there is a small improvement in sound. Better sound stage to me. Power transformer is now hot again and the output trans is a few degrees warmer. Sounds good to my ears. Listening to neil young freedom. What a great recording

Wasn't sure,but i didn't think it sounded as good at .45 vs .40 and now the transformers don't get hot like it used to. Not sure if the bias settings could cause the issue.
Been moving cd's around in the sony changer and the problem is with the cd's not the player. Could use a cleaning im sure anyway. Its be going since 2004 05? New yamaha will be here thru.
Ok, had them at .40 and reset the .450 and now power and output transformers run warm. Used to run hot. Would this be normal? Maybe amp is taking a dump?
well I missed out on the Yamaha cdc600bl on ebay. it went for$ 252 and I only bid til $235. I found another factory refurbished cdc600bl on the web for $230 shipped. I ordered it as I think the sony c333es is on its way out. was using it yesterday and it would just quit reading cd's while playing. thanks for all the help guys. hope the Yamaha is better than the sony.
