Hi!
Another NAD-issue here but hopefully solved by now. I guess skipping is more or less strange (and annoying) when it happens.
However, this one didn't make any sense due to the following:
- The C 525BEE quickly handled all my (troublesome) CD/CD-R/CD-RW's without any issues plus is remarkable resistent to movement during playback...not
at all like a player that struggles to read due to a weak laser...
And now the issue, many longer CD's (>=40min) started to skip towards the end.
Well, I opened the little bugger and while everything looked very nice:
However, after using it for a while I noticed the following little "collision" between the white flat ribbon and the black AC wires from the transformer. (Fixed in these photos).
The "collision" took place at the red markup below:
After moving the AC wires away they are never close to each other anymore and haven't heard a skip since then.
Could this really have been the root cause for the skipping - I hope so anyway and I'm a happy NAD CD listener now 🙂

With these Sony style laser assemblies, the traverse moves further out as the laser moves out and yes, the flexible cable was possibly sticking to the transformer wires causing the laser to stop near the end of its travel.
Move the transformer wires lower towards the chassis to avoid a repeat issue. (Pun not intended). 😂
