SD/A 490t CD Drawer Issue

Nice!!! Enjoy the music!!!

HahahHaha! Kingman, that's exactly how I fixed mine, but I hesitated to post on this because I thought people in this forum would think it was sacrilege to fix our precious Carver grear with a girls hair band, instead of using a special edition, computer-designed, laser-cut, official belt specifically designed for the 490t =) it's good to see that we audiophiles can be very resourceful! (for the record, I went out of my way to find some black ones, although pink ones seem to be the most popular out there)

O, we're a bunch of cheap-ass bastards around here.....we might have nice equipment, but we don't want to pay top dollar for it~

yes...

glad ya got it fixed, me so happy

Awesome! Now I feel right at home =)

applied some real slick silicone spray

Big mistake, that crap migrates everywhere. White lithium grease is another no-no. Molykote is the only lube that should go on a CD transport.

Now that's just a damn lie~

I saw how much you paid for those monster monoblocs!

Alas my 490t died yesterday
Opened her up and found that the cd won't spin up
Sounds like a little grinding sound in the motor

Buying an Olive 4HD music server
It has a Burr - Brown 24bit DAC
I loved the sound from the 490t but don't know if a single bit DAC compares sonically to the one on the Olive
Is it worth having the 490t repaired by Rolland?
Can't tell what he charges for this
Anyone know?

Thanks
