cd skip acceptable?

[admin_exported]

I've just got a new NAD C515BEE 2 days ago and I really love the sound. But on almost every CD I've played there has been at least one major skip when there is no vibration anywhere in my room e.g. when I as sitting perfectly still. It also skips more often unless I tiptoe around the room so it seems pretty sensitive per se.

It's in the same place that I've previously used 3 other CD players and I've never had a problem with skipping. I don't want to seem like a prima donna but feel I shouldn't have to accept it.

I'd be grateful for some advice on the following. Am I being too fussy? Is any degree of skipping acceptable on a brand new player? As I've never had a problem with skipping I've never thought about this before.

Apart form the good reveiws I'd also read that NAD products were really sturdy and I read one customer with a C515 say his never skipped, so this may be a one off so a replacement might be the answer.

Any views are very welcome. Thanks

does sound bad, take it back and play your CD's in it in the shop, and then try in another CDP.

Thanks for the advice - I'll definitely get it swapped - I really love this CD player though (apart from the skipping).

I'm really careful with my CDs - always kept in the case - and frequently wipe off the dust - so I know it's not the CDs

i clean my vinyl but not my CD's Ok sometimes if i get a skip i will clean the disc.

Don't know why I started doing it - I think I was told it was a good idea in order to try to keep any dust out of the player - I bought a special cloth - it's probably imaginary dust - they do look lovely and shiny though - probably OCD kicking in

I've had similar problems with NAD players in the past. Bad quality control?
