My CDP has been my mainstay for almost 17 years. It's my oldest piece of gear and will probably be the last that I will replace. Still works flawlessly and sounds amazing for me. I had to replace the eject button once, retubed to Mullards and had the gears lubed by Rene Rivo 5 years ago..that's about it. I keep a spare laser/motor assembly in case so that it will serve me well for the next decade or so
