[rec.audio.high-end] Mysterious CD tracking failure

timl@maxwell.concordia.ca (TIM LAPIN) (10/23/90)

Hello,

I am having a rather odd problem with a particular CD.  I recently purchased
a copy of the Mozart Experience on the Phillips label.  CDs 2 through 5 track
beautifully.  The first CD however refused to track on three different copies
of the boxed set.

Each time I would try the first CD on my NAD 5220 it would fail miserably.  I
would bring it back to the store and it would track on their cheap NIKKO CD
player (I believe that is the brand).  Does anyone have any idea what is going
on here?  Is there something wrong with my player or is there something odd in
the production process that affects CDs in this peculiar way?

Note:  I have about 70-80 CDs and they ALL track with no problems.

Thanks for any help.
