I’m assuming that it made no difference?
Thanks in advance.
It might have reduced it, I’m not sure, but it didn’t prevent the issue completely as far as I recall. There are currently at least 2 active threads about ripping on the Star in addition to this one, as far as I remember the info was posted in at least one of them
Willie, I hope not, as as having a common power supply between the amplifier and something as “noisy” as a CD drive (what with all the Back-EMF from the motor and the stepper-motors) would seem to be a major hardware design error. Still, when I have the time, perhaps tomorrow (I had “given up” on it as non-operational) I will try playing a CD’s music directly, as that will produce the same effect as you stated (if it exists, which I hope not).
By the way, I was not playing any music or doing anything else when I attempted to use the rip function (as advertised). I did not state that the gaps last for several seconds (I believe that when reading a CD, the standard reaction to a read error on the CD is to blank it, as with a rate of around 44KHz, any gaps would be far too short to be noticeable; you would need a cascade of over 44 thousand errors just to get a single second of blank).
My unscientific impression was that there were fewer problems if the Star was doing nothing else besides ripping, but indeed the issue remained.
