I just purchased a new Pioneer Elite PD D6-J, anyone heard of it? Well, I bought it to update my PD-65 and also have SACD capabilities. What I didn't notice or bother to check out in the store was the amount of mechanical noise coming from the player. I guess I've been spoiled for 17 years with the DEAD SILENT play of the PD-65. How can you have 17 years of development and advances and come out with a player that makes so much noise? Can't you incorporate techniques learned almost 20 years ago to make a better product? Also, what the heck is the point of putting audiophile features like "Pure Audio" and "display shutoff" if you are going to have tray noise etc?
