Did you disconnect the CD players interconnect on the other side too? If not, do that a few times! Doing so will remove some influences of oxidation and airborn particles. I don't know how many times my entire system has been brought to a whole new level just by cleaning all contacts with a good contact cleaner. Just unplugging and re-plugging helps a lot too, however. First thing I do when I get a new player of any kind is to clean the connectors. (Inside female phono plugs are a bit tricky.) Also, make sure your interconnects' phonoplugs have a snug fit. You may also want to try and disconnect various other things from your amp and see if that is the problem! Things you are not listening to, but which are connected, will influence the sound of most systems! (Any A/V system is normally a major influence.) -- P Floding ------------------------------------------------------------------------ P Floding's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2932 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=20155 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
