Wondering if Rick at Musicraft or anyone else can advise.
I've just picked up a Mk one CDA2. The CD drive is rather slow to read discs, 10-12". I understand this might be within normal limits for this mech, but I've never had a drive take this long.
The CD drive does seem a little on the noisy side, a low pitched whirring, but not constant like motor noise, more like bearing noise. It seems a little intermittent; it was doing it with one CD but when I reloaded the CD, it stopped.
To put this in context. I've got it on my desk, at work (it only arrived this morning), so it's less than 1m from my ears. I very much doubt I'd notice this when set up at home with sound through the speakers, but if it is a sign of something awry, I'd rather discuss with the seller (who seems a very genuine bloke) asap.
I hope this is normal for this mech, as even through the old pair of old DT331s I keep at work, it sounds lovely, looks great and I really want to keep it; very detailed and with great bass (can't wait to put it though the 50s later)
Cheers
