b & w 804 s

speakers are cutting at not so high volume

upstream, you mean component. i changed the amp, and preamp, the only thing is the cd 1072 rotel

parasound a21 amp and adcom gap 915 preamp

yes, seems to

between 80 and 90 , skipping and stopping, i swapped out original for the parasound and adcom , keeping the rotel cd, cuts out for second, checked cable connections when installed  parasound and adcom,, changed out tara omni bi wire for monster 16 gauge, banana clips, i have some gear it 14 gauge , outlet is good, strip is power protect av600. it is color coded and marked for tv, amp, cd, etc,  i did not follow these. under 80 is pleasant with no skips. no power flickering  paul

cool, thanks for your time, i emailed rotel, see what they have to say, thanks again,  paul

i have some rubber hock absorbers under cd player but tapping player does make it skip. if it is rotel cd player ,  you think it can be fixed 

thanks, rotel says it is the speaker's, but i am going to try what we talked about, another cd player  i will try disk cleaner and moving player

good idea, thanks  i willed you know results
