CD Play Speed- Too Fast?

Well, I got my CD player replaced about a month ago and the skipping has stopped, but now it seems like my CDs are playing ever so slightly fast compared to what I remember them playing (these are CDs that I have played many times before on other systems).

Is there a simple way to test a CD player for playback speed accuracy? I could use a stopwatch and time how long it takes for a song to play on the G's CD player and a player in the house, but I would like something more accurate before taking it back to the dealer again.

Any ideas?

Re: CD Play Speed- Too Fast?

Why not time an entire song with a stopwatch in both the car and a player in the house. This will at least give you a general idea if there is a problem. So say you use a 3 minute song and find a one second difference, is this a problem? Probably not, you can attribute it to user error when statrting stopping the stopwatch. Or if it really is off by a second, I'd say that's not a noticeable issue over a 3 minute song. But if it's off by say 10 seconds then you are probably having an issue worth looking into.

Oh yeah, also try setting your bass and treble back to 0. Something playing to bright might sound fast
