For whichever transport you use ensuring the disc is spinning absolutely level is a start in the right direction. Also painting the tray turquoise is a good idea.
Are all red book cd transports created equal?
Quite simply the transport on my rega Jupiter is failing and I have an old pdr-19rw pioneer elite that has the same digital output. In theory bits are bits right? Should I swap them out or will the old unit sound as inferior as all those original cd’s did?
