Update: thanks to dcs which provided me extraordinary care and went above and beyond to solve a problem that neither they, nor i created, my puccini is back, running and sounds great! to follow up on the current thread. if i put in something very light, like solo piano, try "after the rain, the soft sounds of eric satie," i can hear the transport moving. unfortunately. if anything else is happening, i.e., solo piano and violin, there is enough happening to obscure the transport noise. as is well known, dcs does not make the puccini transport, it is esoteric. i welcome comments from other puccini owners.
dCS Puccini CD transport noise
Hello,
I recently bought a new Puccini CD/SACD player. Sound quality is outstanding, and, compared to my previous player (Mark Levinson 390S), a vast improvement.
However, I have one issue. The CD mechanism, when playing discs (or with the pause function activated) is quite noisy. It is a combination of a whirring sound (the spinning disc) and a more constant rustling sound. It is clearly audible from my listening position (3.5-4 meters from the player), e.g. when playing piano and choral music (not to speak of late evening listening). I find this rather annoying, especially as the noise comes from a position squarely in the stereo picture (player on a rack between speakers)
What are the experiences of other Puccini owners in this regard?
