Alan, I sent reply a few days ago, did you get it?
To be honest, I don't get on the forum much these days so I don't check my PM's very often.

Probably a dumb question but, can the 67SE model be used with an outboard DAC Converter. Thanks! 🙂
FS CD63SE
Hi
I have a nice unit for sale. Unmodified!
Had been using it mainly as a transport.
Make a good offer...

I recently got a CD-63SE, and it is emitting a fairly loud whirring/hissing from the CD drive during playback. I am sitting close to it (it is under my PC monitor) but even considering that it is quite loud, as I can hear it over the sound from my speakers during playback. Any simple steps to reduce drive noise on this?

Hi Alan,
The CD52 uses a CDM4 swing-arm mech. It's going to be very hard to get new for a decent price. Your best bet is to get a cheap CD32, CD42 or CD52 on the second-hand market somewhere. Or a CD72, it also uses the same mechanism.
Here's a used one.

I've swapped from Arcam Alpha to CD52 just to test, it's quite easy to swap them. I think there are still lots of good-working players with this mech range and laser.
Are you sure it's the laser itself that has gone and not a cap, there's an axial 33 or 47 mfd cap which is often the real culprit. There's a few threads on the forum about locating it.

I wonder if that's what my Alpha's unhappy about! I tried another laser and it made no odds. Thanks Pete!
