After a day wrestling with a system reconfiguration I connected the 301 and proceeded to play a Jimmy Smith CD. The tray moves smoothly but there is a noise, as if something is being scraped against, when opening and closing. No effect on the sound, but I wonder. I think I'll phone this in to the store (Lyric HiFi) or e-mail McIntosh to see what's up.
