NAD 7175 PE vs. Newer Integrated Amps
In that case, there's also a "dry" version of WD-40 that loosens without the residual wetness as well as dedicated electrical contact cleaners. Either way, it's worth a try.All the best,Nonoise 
NAD 7175 PE vs. Newer Integrated Amps

NAD 7175 PE vs. Newer Integrated Amps
WD-40 is your friend. Your volume knob acts like a variable resistor or rheostat and is referred to as a wiper. It sounds like it's just dirty. Open the unit up and be careful as you use some compressed air to clean out the chassis as best you can... 
If you listen to anything other than Classic Jazz, don't read this.
I love the (small) amount of jazz I play on my JBL 4319 monitors, which you can get for $1500 less than what I paid for them a year and an half ago. A very underrated speaker and a steal at that price ($2500). I seriously wonder if the JBL L100 wo...

China bashing has been a feature of A'gon as long as I've been a member. This is just another chapter. I was so taken aback at the discrimination shown in these threads that I wondered if audio was just another hangout for racist, misogynists, and...

Just saw that on TV as well. The lengths states have to go to to get things before the feds confiscate them is ridiculous, but necessary.

You can add in the hope that he won't ship even more scarce medical supplies to China when it comes back for its encore. Hey, do you think that as punishment, Ivanka should give up all those trademarks she got from China just to show them that she...

@aseaman007,    It seems that once those digital nasties are gone, you hear more easily into the music. Turning it up only makes it more enjoyable.All the best,Nonoise
