Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Was it a store bought CD ?

I once owned the Pioneer Elite PDR-19RW and as I recall "CD Recorders" back then were finicky about what CD media they recorded to and played back. Unlike PC's that would accept generic CD-RW the CD Recorders required special Audio CD-R media - probably something to do with compensating a portion of sales to the record labels.

Was it a store bought CD or a CD-RW that won't play in your Pioneer?

I don't have a specific answer but see my thoughts above, and you could also try cleaning the LASER in your Pioneer as it might be marginal on reading some CD media vs others.


I have HEARD OF but never PLAYED Bela Fleck & The Flecktones until very recently. I had the album you mentioned playing over the weekend. Great stuff!
