Hi! Is this product helps toimprove sound of Hi-Fi?Can I use it on phono plugs, mains plugs, 4mm plugs ?is it intended for use on all the connections?

Yes. You are specifically referring to the old "TV Tuner" cleaner, however the CRC "Plastic Safe" connector cleaner will work well as it is a de-greaser for terminals, connectors, contacts etc and can be used for Phono (stereo) and Jacks of all kinds Volume & tuner knobs (Potentiometers / Pots), etc. This item will Not leave residue but be sure clean with power off and allow to dry a bit. Also be sure to use only Plastic Safe when using around more delicate surfaces, paints, plastics, rubber, etc.

I think you will find it helpful in that capacity.Just to be safe,make sure power is off while applying.It will dry rapidly.I find it works well on scratchy volume knobs too.Simply remove knob cap and apply directly to volume post while turning the volume assembly to work the CRC in.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

The top two PHONO plugs are a combination of optical and AUX level output. When using Optical, Top is Optical Out and second is Optical in. The next two PHONO inputs are Aux level inputs. There are two stereo jacks, one for LIne or Mic input and one for Headphone outputs. The Optical ports require an extended optical connection, and comes with two special optical cables which are ready to go. I own two of these and it works great with Windows 7, Windows 8 and openSUSE Linux and is the best real audio solution in my opinion.James McDaniel

This is useful for any input-output of audio. It works with any music software, not just Garage Band. Mainly I got this for the optical output to my stereo system. I use this with a Mackie mixer to control audio lines in-out.

You have to run all preamps through the aux input. The phono section already has a 'preamp' board built in. If you plug it in to the phono jacks, it will probably give a massive about of impedence and feedback.

I am not sure. I used this on tv with toslink connection. It amplifies the sound since TV doesn't on the OUT connection points. It works great for this. Use with ear buds so night watching is silent for others sleeping.

I wonder what your source component is and if possibly your converters are somehow not "playing nice" with the HiFiMan transducers.; I am into year 2 with mine and after 200 or so hours of break-in the mids and low end have opened up along with the soundstage but only positives have happened, nothing negative. (I am using an Oppo BDP-95 running via XLR to a Teac HA-501-B headphone amp. ALSO, it may be something is loose inside the cups that is resonating. I can honestly say other than not liking the way my cables attach, I can find very little to complain about regarding these cans. Good luck! Cheers! Marty G

I use it for a subwoofer and it works great. Tried 3 other products that did not work well before I purchased this product.

It worked for me on my old Vintage Soundcraftsmen Pre-Amp great, and it was pretty bad. My units are more than 35 years old, and I used this stuff on all of them and no more noise. I don't know how bad is your unit, but it is worth a shot. Don't use it the way it is now, you will damage it for good!!! Good luck!!!

possibly. If you have one source splitting out into two amps, if you put it inline before both amps, you should be able to clean the noise up before it gets to the amps. I put mine between my USB dac to my 4ch amp and it was instantly better. Didn't need to use the two additional brown ground wires that are sticking out of it.

I'm not that technical, so I'm unsure. However I purchased this part so that I could connect my head phones to my laptop to enjoy my music. I had damaged my headphone jack on my laptop. Connecting this piece to my computer I am able to listen and enjoy my music via headphones now. So hopefully this answers your question.

You can NOT plug this, or any quality Turntable w/cartridge, directly into a speaker, or any of the new iPhone type accessory speaker devices. You need a "Phono Pre-Amp" that both amplifies the very low level output from the cartridge AND equalizes the sound. All good cartridges equalize to the RIAA curve. A Phono pre-amp has to then de-equalize back to linear sound for play back. Confusing, but required.

Hi, John.It really does amplify the audio from "Stereo In." It can also decrease the volume if the "Stereo In" volume is pretty hot. The one thing I wouldn't do is attempt to plug in both a 1/4" and a mini-headphones cord into the same amp output channel. This messes with the signal characteristics and may affect how the audio is amplified. Instead, use one jack per output channel. HIH!

I didn't understand how you're planing to use this item, but I use it with my bass guitar and it sounds good. I'm quit an amture in bass playing maybe a pro would think deferentially. It's size is convenient, the sound is clear, and I think you can plug it to a big speaker. Hope this answers your question =].P.S. You can't plug an mp4 to it.

i actually use another rca line input and use the pre amp from my turntable with an in line booster (between turntable and 5000) and it works much better than the phono input on the 5000. i was getting a humming noise using phono input. your setup might be different though. either way my vinyl sounds awesome now!

It should not lower the sound and should amplify it, this device is for turntables I believe and you should check with yamaha and ask why their phono input lowers sound output, etc.

There is an RIAA EQ built into every phono preamp. If you plug a phono preamp into a phono preamp, the result will be bad sound.
