I've noticed the same problem. I have a SONY CDP-701 and play mostly
classical CDs. About 4 or 5 of my 20 CD library go "tap tap tap..." in
the same place - most noticeably, of course, in pianissimo spots.
I figured it was the same hyper-critical poltergeist who scratched all
my LPs at first playing. Could there be a more rational explanation?
