Marantz CD73 fault

[Julian1985]

My Marantz cd73 sometimes outputs loud scratchy static sounds usually when first turned on and only briefly. This issue may go away for a week. Then come back again. It may not be there for 20 hours. Then it returns for a short run of torture.

Recapped, new regulators, laser current and focus coil aligned.

Tell me your ideas for this issue ?

Difficult to say without hearing it.

DRAM chip failure is not that uncommon on Philips based players and can cause a loud 'hash' type noise. Sometimes the music can be heard in the background through it, sometimes not.
