For those of you following my saga at

latest mp3 clip at website). It is not

Any ideas or suggestions welcome! (Well almost any... One certain

I'm tempted to go for a Project Xpression2, esp after seeing all that
6Hz stuff on both Debut decks.

I'm tempted to ask why you would go for another Project anything given
what you have found.

I was thinking the same thing. I couldn't see any alternatives at Richer
Sounds in the same price range.

For the same money, scout around Ebay for a deck
of much better lineage.

I could be wrong but I dont like buying 2nd things that are highly
mechanical in nature (eg HardDrives, Printers etc). and I'm fairly
sensitive to flutter.

I think what you have revealed here
(particularly the belt off sounds) is that the deck is simply
insufficiently well engineered for your audio requirements.

That would be my suspicion except this deck seems to get rave reviews
everywhere I look, and hardly a bad word said about it. Puzzling.

I've been thinking. I don't know this deck, so I have no idea how
flexible the various bits are, but is there any chance that when you
put it down on a soft, uneven surface, you are actually pushing the
bottom panel up sufficiently to touch the motor chassis? That could
easily have this sort of effect.
