Bought a Toshiba 3990 today for 50 bucks and am astonished how good it sounds out of the box, un-broken in, untweaked. But here's my question: In playing a cd--Stereophile's new Diabelli Variations-- that, on my other player, plays 'straight through', on the Toshiba, it pauses for a "second" after each track, seemingly cutting off the tail end of the music and making the disk very 'halting'. This cd has, on the main piece, 33 tracks, all fairly short. What has always happened on other players is that there is maybe a second or so at the end of each track where the music fades out (naturally) and then the next track starts immediatelly. And so the music flows as it ought to. The Toshiba, by stopping between each track makes it almost unlistenable. For a majority of disks--most pop disks, most classical disks even, this would be unnoticable. But some pieces--Diabelli amongst them--the music does not stop, or if it does, there is no pause (in live performance for example). But the Toshiba stops, then starts. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a setting someplace for it? Thanks!
