I wouldn't suggest washing your discs in the dish detergent/water
mixture. I did it once to a few and some spots started to appear on
the discs.
Also, and I think this may be the culprit: make sure you are using
very good quality cables, like Monster. They make a huge difference
in the sound quality. Make sure your connections are good too, no
dust or dirt in the cable or the RCA jacks.
I saw a three-foot pair of Monster cables at Target today for $8 that
I'm thinking about going to get, if I can pull out of my driveway
safely with all this snow. :)
