Forgot to mention that the noise only happens in one channel and
that I can hear it in the headphones pluged into the cd jack...

When I first started listening to classical CD's I also thought
there was something wrong with my player. I would hear little
noises that just shouldn't be on well reviewed, top quality
disks. The noises sounded to me like crinkling cellophane or
maybe the shutter of a 35mm camera. I actually returned a disk,
(Watermusic, Pinnock) because of the noises, but they were there
in the same place in the replacement disk.
Eventually I figured it out. The noises were on so many disks
that it became obvious. Classical music instruments are noisy.
Valves clack, bows slap. The musicians aren't always the
quietest bunch either.
I felt better about the noises once I found out what they were.
The better the recording, the more likely you are to hear noise.
On the other hand, more care is taken to minimize extraneous
noise on the better recordings, so all in all, they are usually
quieter.

Yes, I agree with .2 about the noise. You must be hearing audience
noise, coughs and the like. And musician noise. Rock recordings
made in studios don't have the ambience recorded between tracks
like they do on many classical disks when the recorders are left
running. However, it worries me that you only hear it on 1 channel.
That smells of equipment failure. You should hear ambient noise
from both speakers on the classical disks.

| 1112.4 | Distortion?????? | NCVAX1::SUZDA | | Mon Mar 07 1988 08:39 | 10 |
| I also have been hearing what I think is distortion. I have a Pioneer
9010 unit and while listening to various recordings, I get what
I think is distortion on one channel. At first I thought it was
a dirty channel on the amp (15 years old), or the speakers (10 years
old), but I plugged in headphones directly to the CD unit and the
noise is still there. It seems to disappear when I crank up the
volume but that may be because I can only hear the pictures on the
walls rattling. Well, I'll just have to wait here for an answer.

If the noise sounds like chirping, it may be some sort of digital error.
Before I had my player fixed, in addition to gross "skipping" it
would also occasionally "chirp" on certain discs.

fiqured it out (actually it was explained to me...) -
The various noises have been attributed (in order) to -
1. Bad Engineer
2. Noisy Musicians
3. Full Symphony Recordings of very dynamic music occasionaly have
more data then bits available. (no flames, it makes sense to me
in a weird software sort of way :-)
The system that proved that it was the recording was Maggie deck,
the Musical Concpets (??) Passive preamps, 2 mono-blocked haffler
dh220's with the MC gx mods, and B&W matrix 1's...Sweet System!!
thanks for the help,
Clark.

| Yes, I have a Vivaldi "Four Seasons" and I think someone is actually
walking around the room on it. I have Sony D5, and this is the only
recording that I have ever noticed noise like that!
