Casio CZ/ VZ/ FZ - Pro Series

THANKS a lot!

For me it is definitely the crackle noise and low volume.
I did see your posting about how to open the CZ... I think I can do it now!

Good luck with solving your hissing problem, I think it is  a great synth and I can't wait to play around with it :-)!!!

All the best,

Fab

I know there are a number of posts on this forum about this, but I have not yet read up on it myself... need to get around to it someday. I don't really remember the posts exactly, but for a number of people (I think with hissing noise), the relay was not the problem, it was something else. The point is, if your problem is the "hiss", then I don't think this will help. but if it is the "crackle," then change the relay.
