A CD that's been manufactured recently and then purchased by me in the last couple of weeks :D I'm not getting this issue with CDs I've been caning for the last 15 years.

Yeh, that sounds like a good idea. Ta.

Yeh, in an ideal world there shouldn't be clicking; but like I say, I'm interested in knowing whether this is a known issue with new CDs (or indeed with budget Marantz CD players) and whether Marantz would indeed refuse to replace it. I don't think I'm being played by the dealer, but you never...

Track of the day is 'For Belgian Friends' by The Durutti Column from the pretty wonderful vinyl reissue of 'LC'.

Hi all, I've recently bought a Marantz CD5005. I'm pretty happy with it, getting a nice sound in tandem with the PM6005 and some Focal Aria 906s. But. On a handful of CDs, all of them new, I'm getting a clicking sound from the transport when they play. It's generally not a bother, as I play at...

Thank you both. Looks like a sound policy. The RP3 (and the new P3) both come with an Elys 2, but I've seen recommendations made on turntable threads here for cartridges that are cheaper, so I am a little confused. So, any recommendations for a cart that would be a definitive step or two up...

Hi all. I've been enjoying lurking on the forums these past couple of weeks, been mightily illuminated, and I thought it was about time I asked a question. I did put it in the Zensor 3 thread earlier, but it doesn't really belong there, so I'll have a go with a new thread. I've heard the...
