My cd3 plyaer (original spec) seems to squeak when playing cd's. Seems better or worse depending on the cd. If it was a door hinge I would spray WD40 on it but suspect that spraying WD40 on the cd spindle would be a bad move. Anyone got any ideas for...

I've just scored a Flutterbuster for my Rega Planar 3 - but I've had a horrible thought. What if the motor upgrade I have had done (taking the Planar to P3 status) is incompatible with the Flutterbuster?I'm assuming all is fine as the new motor is...

My current system is CD5/112/150 with Triangle Loudspeakers. I find this fine with Chord Odyssey cables, but too "hard" (harsh?) with NACA 5, and also lacking of "luminosity", though the sound is more engaging... 1) Has anybody the same kind of...
