The history here is that I bought a classic CD-63 K.I. for a second bedroom system (apparently the Marantz is perfectly weighted for those Barry White CD's).... at the moment whilst I await delivery of a suitable hi-fi stand....... in the interim I also managed to pick up a Arcam 9/9p and another CD-63 K.I. really cheap which I am going to punt on in the next few weeks for a little profit.......
I am running the CD players through a Arcam A85 to Mission m64i's and using some 'Chunky cables' from a dude off of the Ebay... nice cables.
The first CD-63 developed this noise that was like 'bop' that happens whenever you do something to the cd you are playing.... so, for example, you skip on to the next track... 'bop'. Press pause 'bop'. Press play again 'bop'. It comes through the left hand speaker and it is annoying.
I thought... it happens, secondhand equipment..... you know?
Anyway..... went on to the second CD-63 K.I. to test it for selling. It was perfect, in fact I thought that it sounded a little stronger than mine, which strengthened my resolve to get mine serviced......
Got up this morning ...... went into the living room, put on Beck 'Mutations'.... and there was no sound through the right hand speaker! Well at first I thought that I might of done something stupid and blown it..... so there was a bit of worry and I set about testing everything. The good news was that if I went through the Arcam CD73T the speaker came back... so I tried different channels on the A85 with the CD-63.... and after much monkeying it just started working - still do not know why....... HOWEVER
The second CD-63 has now developed the 'bop' problem! I thought, right it is the interconnects and changed them. It is not.
Has anyone else had this and do you know what it is ? Is the CD-63 particularly suseptible to it ?
Any help appreciated.
