Thanks GeorgeLast night I noticed an issue I also had with mine I can hear the disc rubbing.Do you think that's the laser or a wobbly spindle

Thanks George. Confirmation is always niceThough the Cambridge looks well built, the Marantz is a beast, and the small chassis no doubt minimizes bad vibesSaving my coin for a Jays CD II Mk II. They rarely come up used. I did see one that looked i...

Anyone have experience with the new ELAC DDP-2?
