I recently journeyed to the local high end stereo store for my first look at the CD's. After getting the necessary sales pitch extolling the virtues of the machines, including the claim that the disks were virtually indestructable, I listened to their demo mid-priced Sony. Every 10-15 seconds or so there would be a void in the music, just a brief moment of silence, almost as if the machine lost a bit of information. The salesman then proceded to blame the problem on the scratched (yet still indestructable) disk he was playing. My question is whether the problem was indeed with the disk (it really was scratched up), or if it is something inherent in the machines themselves. Thanks in advance, Ken Dobyns Tektronix, Beaverton OR
