Bad RCA terminal connection?

ninety · 3rd September 2007, 09:39 AM

I own a Musical Fidelity A3cd player and have a little problem with it. When I plug in my interconnect into the right output of my cd player the right channel tends to go out if the wires are moved. If I try moving the interconnect from side to side up and down the music from the right channel goes dead and then comes back. My question is, would this be a matter of changing the rca terminal itself or does this have to do with a bad wire solder connection ? If its a matter of changing the rca terminal, where can I get an identical one like on the MF a3cd player?

Take the cover off the CD player and look for a broken wire to the RCA jack. The wires break as the jack twists after time. Resolder the wires and everything should be fine.
