[net.audio] Clicks in my CD

mojo@kepler.UUCP (Morris Jones) (09/20/85)

My SO purchased a set of Kenwood components and Klipsch KG4 speakers
recently.

I was listening to an excellent jazz CD, "Harlequin" by Dave Grusin
and Lee Ritenour (all digital recording).  I was a little worried by
some clicks and rattles that I heard in the speakers on that CD and
on a couple of classical CDs.  "Uh oh, the speakers have a rattle."

Then I listened to a cassette made from the CD and heard the same
clicks.

Am I hearing errors in the CD, errors in the player's reconstruction,
or errors in my head?

Sounds to me like defects in the CD, thereby activating the error-handling
circuits in the player.
