It's a fairly recent acquisition (Marantz CD7300 s/h) and all has been well, but a recent CD purchased does that annoying ticking as it spins - I hear it between tracks. I've not noticed this before.
So two questions:
1. What is actually the cause of this? All sorts of theories on the net, but nothing conclusive I could find.
2. How do I stop it, is it a fault with the player or the CD? Would replacing the CD simply mean I got another ticking CD or might it go away?
In the back of my mind I think of ticking as the precursor to doom - just as a ticking hard drive is in a PC. I remember a cheap player that I still have that ticked on every CD for years but actually played fine.
