[Dixielandjazz] CD audio query.

[M J (Mike) Logsdon]

For approx the second time in my life, I've encountered a CD that 
exhibits digital "crackling" at the exact same point, on more than one 
player in my home.  I get a replacement, and the same thing occurs.  I'm 
not imagining it; it's really there.  Though, admittedly, I have 
hyper-sensitive hearing.  But be that as it may.

Then, just now, I try yet another player in my home, and the distortion 
is NOT there.  Two players, yes, this one player, no.  What gives?

I test yet another player soon, to see which one I used to make an 
analog copy (recent Stomp Off CDs are anti-copy encoded, it seems), and 
will send it to chrome tape if I have to en route to CD, and just deal 
with the lack of fidelity.

Any ideas?  (And please, keep it simple: I'm a mere gov't bureaucrat.)
