Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport


I recently purchased a Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport. The unit is brand new, never opened or used. The specific unit I received is emitting an audible, continual whooshing sound while spinning discs. It's loud enough to be audible during listening. 

I know this transport has received high praises from several people on this forum. Can anyone who owns this unit tell me whether this is considered "normal" for this unit? Or are your units literally dead silent while spinning a disc?

Wondering how I should handle this as the unit was imported to the USA from overseas.

Thank you!

It’s a shame that some manufacturers don’t fully vett their products before selling to the mass public. I realize that sometimes things happen but it is unacceptable that a brand new unit is noisy.  I find it more discerning that they are working on a fix. Does that mean everyone who bought the current model is screwed and may have future problems down the road?

@charles1dad Thank you for sharing! Good to know that at least some units don’t have these problems.

My replaced unit only makes some sounds as it loads the disc. During play it is almost completely silent.

A proper functioning unit should be quiet.
