I suppose some members here at Phoenix have heard my tale of fixing the transport on my DCD-3300. I had it powered up for months, and the other day I powered it down overnight, for no particular reason but that I powered down my amp while installing another set of speakers. Powered up again, there was noise in the right channel. I switched to the tuner, which was clean, so it was not the amp or the speakers. I tried headphones, and the noise was still there in the right channel. I tried the digital output into a DAC/headphone amp, and it was clean.
The noise must be in the analog section, but a visual inspection did not reveal anything obvious. It is probably a cap gone bad, since this unit dates to May of 1987, so it looks like the Denon will be doing transport duty from here on.
