Anyway, IED's copy of the CD starts on > cue at 0:00. >-- Andrew Marvick It may be that you've hit the problem right on the head...I've long since noticed that the D-5 mutes the very first part of whatever track you listen to if you scoot the read head off to a new location; this has the rotten side effect of cutting off the first downbeat to just about everything the ecleKTic one has written lately. On the other hand, it also tends to hide the segues between some tracks. The solution, of course, is to back-scan as soon as you skip tracks, or go buy another [different] CD player. And yes, I've noticed that whine on X4 and the rerecorded Wuthering Heights.
