Strange Oscillation


Alright, I need to get to the bottom this. On a couple of CD's at certain passages, the music goes into an oscillation and won't quit until the volume is reduced or the disc stopped entirely. My playback source is an Ayre C-5xeMP, Plinius Tautoro pre and Plinius SA-103 amp. Interestingly this only happens on a few CD's and usually when there is a sustained chord such as from a keyboard note that is held or a sustained vocal. Two examples are Pink Floyd, Dark Side of the Moon, track one about mid point with the EMI Japan release CDP746001 Z. I also have the MFSL issue and it plays with no problem. Another example is Patricia Barber, Cafe Blue standard redbook release during a sustained high pitch vocal note and only at high volume. So what causes this to occur? It is obviously related to the CD itself since DSOTM MFSL issue plays just fine. Can anyone enlighten me?

oleschool,
I assume you mean from a vibration standpoint. The Ayre sits on a solid maple shelf almost 2" thick and from there is perched upon vibrapods. I really don't  think vibration is the cause but at this point can't rule anything out. What's interesting is that it happens only on certain CD's.
I have Cafe Blue, standard CD and cannot hear any high pitch vocal.  In fact, it is the one of the best recorded CDs used for demo in many stores. Can you point to particular song, minutes, seconds?

Vibrapods might protect CDP from vibrating shelve, but will do the opposite when CDP body vibrates.  Did you try to remove them?

Perhaps laser is weak (dirty).  Try to clean it.
kihanki,
No high pitched vocal? I am referring to the track "Too Rich for my Blood" (one of my favorites) at about 5:19 when Patricia hits that high note. So how does one go about cleaning the laser? I'm certainly open to trying that.
