CDS puck if new
Posted by: graphoman on 24 February 2004
I’ve learned from the wise men of this Forum that the old CDS needs more puck and they should be used simultanously. I followed the advice and now I have much less tracing errors indeed.
A couple of years ago when I bought the CDS I got two pucks from the dealer and I was silly enough to use them since then. Just because I wanted to increase the number of my pucks, recently I bought two more from NA. Yesterday they arrived and they made an unbelievable difference. The old ones’ sound is dead and uninteressant. The new ones gives much, much better treble, with all the consequences of this. Gone the fatty upper bass, as if fresh air coming into the room. It’s true, they need some 2 days (or maybe more?) for running-in, first they sound a bit disambodied but they keep improving from hour to hour.
It seems to me adviseable to leave them for one night or two (or more?) on top of a CD in the CDS. From the moment the ring reaches the optimum the puck should not, of course, be left that way if not playing. I can only hope they retain their quality for years.
Now I got two pucks instead of two. Not four. The old ones are no match for the new ones.
