Meridian 508.24 problem
Hello everyone!As a follow-up to my earlier post, I regret to say that the skipping problem came back after a few days of playing.Each time I used the compressed air to clean the lens, the player would play fine for a couple of CDs. And then the s... 
Meridian 508.24 problem
Yesterday, I went out to get an air pump one might find at a camera shop for blowing dust out from camera lens. For some reason, compressed air in a can is impossible to find where I live.Carefully regulating the pressure from the pump, I aimed it... 
Magnepan 1.6QR : to bi-wire or not to bi-wire
