hope john doesnt mind me posting this
Today I returned the 9000CDT to Audio T in Portsmouth. It has become glitchy over the last week, stopping once or several times during tracks on some albums, with a 1 - 10 second gap before resuming from where it stopped. Yesterday I put one of the CDs it plays up on in my 1994 Technics SLPG-440A in system 2, it played right through with no problems. Stuck the CD in the 9000 and it stopped dead at 1:06 on my favourite track and took 12 seconds to resume, it also refuses to update firmware via USB as detailed by them on YT.
They're going to run it in the shop and then send to Audiolab for investigation, in the meantime they've lent my a £2.4k Cyrus CDi-xr, just need to pop in tomorrow when go to mums and ask for the bloody remote (was a shop display model and I didn't check the box contents).

All good Phil.
Read that same review before the audition & purchase. I strongly agree with what he says about the SQ, it really is superb, walking all over the 6000CDT, and combined with my Black Ice DSD easily brought me back up to
and a bit beyond the level of SQ I got from my Lector CDP7TL. Providing the issues (above) are sorted then this CDT will be staying in my system longterm.

The Cyrus CDi-xr I've been loaned is frankly a very overpriced, mediocre cdp. It it was circa £500 then fair enough, but at £2.4k it's a joke, a 6000CDT into a £200 Beresford dac would easily match or beat it to my ears.
Shows just what vfm the 9000CDT is at £999, and don't get me started on the obvious need for the £2.4k psu-xr to get the Cyrus to sound decent.
