Otherwise, a subsonic filter, if your preamp has one, will address the issue if it happens regularly. Odd that it is a CD, as I've heard that issue from LP play more often, and that issue can be frequently traced to one of a few factors, such as tonearm resonances, surface resonances from below the table, or improper cartridge setup.

John I love listening to new music and I am constantly doing so. I thank the person that made the post about Jesse Winchester I have not hear him in years So I immediately went to the Zune marketplace and downloaded some of his music Yrs ago I had his first album just called Jesse Wincherster released in 1970 and its still a good album. Most of my downlaods are Celtic (Irish) and Scottish and Newfoundland music - mainly fiddle and accordian\ I rarely go anywhere w/o my mp3 player Fred |

I tried to check out the Zune site buy I get bored when I can't get my questions answered in five or ten minutes..it looks like most of the stuff is for mp3 type players? I need a place I can burn to CD and play on my stereo system...and I can't play anything that has been compressed. Zune costs $15 or $16 mo Unlimited downlaods. I listen to some pretty esoteric music and Zune does not have all - say 60% .. But that's OK becuae if I have to and its not on Zune I go to the Amazon marketplace or the artist's own page and either buy a CD or download it form Amazon prices are say $10 mp3 vs $15 for the CD If I download any music I don't like It costs me nothing so it just gets deleted I have more music to listen to now than I will ever get the chance to listen to in my lifetime My 120G player is filled and There area few sources for digging out some newer but "different" music so I am always adding I rotate songs- I wet to Zune from Rhapsody and other music services as it was the easiest to synch properly w my mp3 player I move my player between 3 stereo systems in the house , all of our computer(s) - also used in the cars and at various times w just headphones The quality is the best I have ever heard esp w Shure headphones If you have an ipod you may have more of a choice Fred |

Tom I never experienced that problem when I was spinning vinyl...and yeah....it is just that one particular CD. It's weird as heck. I have a call in for the original and for a copy to be made on another system to do some caparison tests... Now....in case anyone is curious....do I copy CD's? yes. once. We go halfsies and the winner of the coin toss gets to keep the original jacket....do I boot leg or buy such? no... I will let you know the results of my tests and I will take a drive Monday to go and talk to the most knowledgeable people I know at Parts Express... they are Arum Cantus speakers, Adcom amp and pre amp....a small not so powerful system but ideally suited for my listening environment..... john |

Good luck on your quest, John. Tom |

Jesse is an old favorite of mine. While I normally don't recommend "best of" CD's, in his case the best of released in 1989 is a really good look at the man's body of work. Beyond his music, his life is interesting. One of the reasons he's "unknown" is because he fled to Canuckistan when he was drafted, so he was unable to tour in the U.S. until later in his career.
