Hi @Gazza my CDX2.2 was microskipping random bits of music - I am talking micro second - enough to perceive - but not to totally distract. Per Richard - I tried a soak cycle on a brand new disc (run time of 1 hr) and after 4 hours - there were multiple errors (magically not in the first hour). Per NeilS, I reached out to Naim North America, and they predicted multiple scenarios, listed below.
- Cracked platter: replacement with a like.
- Transport Alignment : send unit to Naim North America service.
- Laser aging : no longer officially supported.
- Servo calibration and Transport health
I got lucky with the first one, once replaced - it’s completing the soak cycle without any errors. Followed @NeilS posting from June 2022 CDX2 issue - #3 by NeilS …and voila - the CDX2 is running soak cycles without errors…super lucky.
Many thanks to Richard and NeilS and others for keeping this forum active and leading me in the right direction.
