RCD-1072 spinning noise
Long time lurker here but this is my first post.
I've recently upgraded everything I got to Rotel equipment and am loving every bit of it but I seem to be having a bit of a problem with the RCD-1072.
With some CDs it seems to be making a kind of clicking or loud spinning noise. The funny thing is that it only happens on certain CDs. CDs that are scratched pretty bad make the noise but some CDs that are scratched like crazy spin perfectly quiet. Brand new CDs fresh out of their wrapping can sometimes make the noise. It is odd in that it really is only certain CDs that do this. I know, for example, that I put my friend's Arcade Fire that it will make the noise but I could put in my Solaris soundtrack and it will spin perfectly quiet.
What's especially weird is that on some CDs it's only the first couple of tracks that spin louder while the rest of the CD is fine. Even weirder is on some of them the first couple tracks spin loud then gets quiet and then spins loud on the last track.
Is this a problem inherent to this model? I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't sitting right next to me (it has to until the weather warms up and I can finish my A/V rack) but should I be worried? Anyone else experience this problem? Is something like this covered under warranty and if so is the repair process at the dealer pretty easy?
