Problem: Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport

I recently purchased a Pro-ject Audio CD Box RS2 T transport. The unit is brand new, never opened or used. The specific unit I received is emitting an audible, continual whooshing sound while spinning discs. It's loud enough to be audible during listening. 

I know this transport has received high praises from several people on this forum. Can anyone who owns this unit tell me whether this is considered "normal" for this unit? Or are your units literally dead silent while spinning a disc?

Wondering how I should handle this as the unit was imported to the USA from overseas.

Thank you!

Sorry to hear about your CD Box problems. I had two. The first replaced under warranty because of CD recognition failure. The second because of the whooshing noise you described. A CD Box dealer I communicated with said Pro-Ject is in the process of re-engineering in order to fix these design flaws.

 

I'd really like to replace my defective CD Boxes with a new one, but at the moment I don't think that's a good idea.

I started a thread about resolving CD transports.

Walter and Underwood are outstanding. Way back in 2002, he recommended I purchase a JoLida JD-100 hybrid CD player. One of the things he said is the CD player is so well designed you could still be playing it in 20 years. It's still going strong, part of a modest office system. I'm using RCA 5751 silver tops and the sound is sweet and liquid.
