    Despite my copy is brand new (bought when released and carefully archived since), there are a lot of pressing defects all along the four sides, mainly small and medium clicks. Ultrasonic cleaning changed nothing. If you put that major issue apart, it sounds very good.
    Does your copy have the same issue?
