But i just dont know.
The sound of my CDs is very important to me
Sounded great until the buzzing.

I wonder what a repairmen in Manhattan (where i live) would charge to troubleshoot this.

There are many receivers that would be able to put up similar, if not, better reproduction than yours, seeing as how they're 20years old. Check into the Pioneer Elite or higher end Denon, or even Marantz.

The new Pioneer Elites claim to be just as good as seperates from this day and age! (Pioneerelectronics.com) Search for the Pioneer Elite SC-25 or SC-27, which come out in late August.
