 |

How come some discs are quite a bit heavier than others? The platter seems to be much heavier. and the heavy ones seem to me to play better?

AHHH! Scott I wondered the same thing! Some caddies are light as a feather and others feel like 5 pounds of plastic with or without ced in the caddy too!

This is interesting news to me. I had no idea that some CED's had a different weight than the others. I would have thought that they were all manufactured to the same weight.
This relates to an incident that occurred with one of my players some months ago. The player (an SJT-200) would not accept a CED. I opened up the player and found 3 CED's neatly stacked on the turntable. Apparently, the mechanism had not unloaded those 3 discs back into their respective caddies. Somehow, I missed the change in weight between an empty caddy and a filled one.
BTW. Those 3 discs did a number on the player: the transfer rod coupling was broke and the poor stylus was bent beyond belief! (They don't like to be forced up to the top of a disc stack, it seems.) I still wonder how the stylus played the second disc in the stack.

I was thinking the later CEDs were the ones without the cutouts.
