    Chord Electronics - Blu Mk. 2 - The Official Thread

    Chord Electronics - Blu Mk. 2 - The Official Thread

    Hope Chord may suggest some proper lube. We’ve used the one for bicycle chains from Silca, I use it for vinyl turntables as well.

    Chord 2Go & 2Yu Wired/Wireless Network streamer and S/PDIF adaptor - Official thread

    I have experienced some sonic degradation of my Blu mkII playing CDs after connection of 2go/2yu. It reverts back to normal when I switch 2yu off and degrades again when 2yu is switched on.
