Strange sounds coming from my speakers.


25 years ago I got my Caspian roksan system with ruark speakers .Iwould lie down with my eyes closed and listen to the music and hear sounds that I had not heard before ,I would get up thinking someone was at the door or there was a noise in the house.25 years on I still do it.Please let there be someone that has noticed things in the music that they have not noticed with a cheap music player.If you think I’ve lost it send a white van round. PS I did say that I purchased my system 18 yrs ago on my 1st post I was wrong sorry.

@cobbone1 - CD transports do fail over time. Do you happen to know if it is a problem with the actual transport mechanism or laser? If so, you might want to ping @georgehifi . He has provided the OEM model part numbers to several forum posters when they needed replacement CD drives/lasers. Of course, you can check with Roksan also. They may have used an inexpensive OEM CD drive/laser assembly that may be relatively inexpensive to replace. It sure would be cool to have a complete working Roksan Caspian stack if the repair were not too expensive.
Well done. Even if the amplifier may not have seen that much use, replacing the elektrolytic capacitors could still be a wise precaution, if you can find an affordable maintenance engineer. Personally I would not bother with the cd player. Either you move over to streaming completely, or buy an affordable Bluray player with analogue output. That way you will also have the opportunity to watch movies with decent sound.
Happens to me all the time, not just me but guests too. Wasted much energy getting on my feet to check the door or the kitchen, garage etc. I really hate it when I'm jamming and a guest says I think there was a knock on the door or they turn their heads and look behind them.
