Guys..I am so happy because after a few months of hunting down the Philips CDM 9 Pro and its related parts such as servo board, motherboards, finally my Forsell Air Reference CD Transport is up and running smoothly. I even have the spare in case the optic and its dedicated servo need replacement.
However, since this is a very old unit, I guess nearly 20 years already, the gold plated parts are dirty and loosing its shine.
I know people use Brasso to clean this part generally but based on my past experience when cleaning my Petrof piano pedals, it will turn back to even worse after a while.
Do you know what is the best cleaner to use for this purpose? Preferably non-abrasive and will retain its shiny looks longer. The most part of its casing is made of black acrylic though..
Pairing this Forsell Air Reference CD Transport with my Lampizator Golden Gate Balanced is the best decision I made. The sound is now so smooth, silky smooth, very relaxing. The density and texture is top notch. I have compared that to Mark Levinson 31.5, Aqua La Diva, 47Labs Flatfish. It has the sweetness of Flatfish yet Forsell provides more air and density at the same time. It's hard to explain because I could listen to this combo till 5 am for two straight day.
As to the cleaner, I really appreciate the information in advance.
Cheers..
