About two years ago, I purchased an ARCAM CD23T player. I have been extremely happy with the sound and the good working of the player for a time. However, for several months now, my ARCAM CD23T has showed a very strange fault:Sometimes (ONLY sometimes), when I switch on the unit and I charge a disc, I hear extremely distorted music from the speakers when the disc is playing. This is NOT a fault appearing at some point while the disc is playing, but FROM THE START, from the moment I switch on the unit and I press PLAY.
Believing that the fault could be due to a faulty capacitor, I have carefully replaced ALL the capacitors of the player, but the problem has NOT disappeared.
NONE OF THIS HAD PREVIOUSLY HAPPENED WITH MY ARCAM CD PLAYER, and I am very worried about this.
Follow Ups:
I have the service manual of the player and I can send it.
Describe the distortion. Is it static/hiss/crackle/pop/other?
It's EXTREMELY DISTORTED music.
Are you yelling at me, or is that an attempt to describe the distortion. I only asked the question in an attempt to elicit more information that might help someone to suggest probable causes for your problem.
I am not yelling at anyone. I simply italicized my words to make clear the type de distorsion I am referring to. I don't understand your susceptibility.
OK. Distortion is a rather generic term. When you simply repeated your words in capital letters (not italics), I was not sure of your intention. This is known as SHOUTING on the web. If you were attempting to describe the distortion as loud, you could have said it was a loud distortion. Nothing to do with susceptibility. Is the distortion coming from both channels?
Yes, the distorsion is coming from both channels.
This is similar to the problem I had with my Arcam CD73. It would sound distorted. Switching off the player then switching it back on did provide a temporary solution. However after sometime it stopped reading discs while playing midway. Get it looked at by your vendor It my case it was fixed after a faulty wire was replaced.
Thanks for your reply.
I am not sure but I think it was the cable that sends the signal from the drive to the DAC. Sorry I really can't remember much more.
