Steam Unlimited jpl 2580 seems to be the selected drive for the BCD3...(.is that correct James) ? It has been used in the Gold Note cd player,with good results according to my research. It has been said what fails in a drive is the spindle motor or the laser . I understand the drive can accept a replacement laser but not sure about spindle motors. It was also stated that Steam Unlimited could/may reproduce the defunk Phillips Pro unit so often used in many great players (e.i. the BCD1). If this is true perhaps our poor useless BCD1 players could still be fixed. The jpl 2580 seems to be a well made unit and my hopes (when I receive my BCD3 is that they will be able to provide service and repairs far into the future. I do prefer to spin my music rather than downloading....old school I guess, thankyou....
