Hello,
Trying to elucidate an answer to a disturbing problem: I just bought a preowned Musical Fidelity Tri vista SACD player for my system. So far, I have been playing conventional cd's (SACD's are in the mail) on it. On two separate cd's I hear a terrible stuttering, popping noise at specific points in the music which necessitates stopping the music. Thing is, when I play the same disc on my Sony CD megachanger, I never hear the popping-- the cd plays straight through!
Wouldn't it make sense that this should be a feature of the disc itself rather than a component of the system (ie, cable, power/pre amp, cd player, speaker)? If the disc is dirty/scratched, would that explain this? I would like to believe that a $5000 cd player would be able to negotiate cd imperfections better than a $300 Sony or would it just amplify them?
Your thoughts?
Thanks in advance
