Stringreen... thanks. It's not a particular CD. The 'pop' correlates to certain sounds on any number of CD recordings. For instance, a hard slap of the snare drum or tom tom drum by a drummer. So the pop coordinates with certain sharp staccato sounds like that. That's why I thought it had something to do with possible errant mechanical movement of a driver. Perhaps, for all those years of being stored and not used, the actual membrane materials are not as supple as they were.
But I will definitely do the shake test and get back to you.
