Not been on here for a while. Too busy just enjoying my set-up ( and getting things back in perspective - away from "£10k speaker wire land" )

As I intimated, everything sounds great but the transport on my Arcam CD23 is beginning to get a bit noisey. Not anything that anyone else would notice but on quieter sections of tracks I can hear it spinning. I originally picked it up 2nd hand for £450 and I've been very happy with it........ But I was very happy with my Kandy till I heard the CD23.

My question is - should I get the Arcam serviced or is it time to try something else ?

I have the Arcam A32, B&W CM5 speakers, a very diverse music taste ( Smashing Pumpkins, Yael Naim, Bocherinni, Eno, Faith No More, Slow Hand, Dean Martin ), a quite a "lively" room ( oak floor, wood blinds, painted walls )

Would have a budget of maybe £1750 ( or £1500 if I can't get used to this new 3 wood ! )

Suggestions on a post card :scratch:

Marco,

please cancel this thread to stop people wasting their time responding.

I have just read the various comments on "am i allowed to have this" and remembered why I don't do forums.

thanks.

The comments on the thread you mention are various members' opinions.
You get a lot of it on forums and each is as valid as the rest. You don't have to agree or disagree and certainly if any of it offends, you can ignore it.
But one thing you should never do is take it too seriously. Which you certainly seem to have done.
Enjoy your Arcam!
