[KLUG Members] CDROM audio question.

[Bruce Smith]

Someone I know had the CDROM drive replaced in her
computer at work.  Now when she listens to a music CD
there is a loud hissing noise in the background.
(it sounded perfect before)

Her PC "tech support" person told them that it was 
because the new CD drive was faster than their old one.
(52X vs. 8X) and the new / faster drives spin faster and
don't work as well for music CD's.  (and won't replace it)

I've never heard anything like that before.  Is this true
by chance, or is the techie giving her a line of bull?
