Wow, this is uncanny! I remember playing cards into the early hours one morning with a girl about 25 years ago. The fluorescent fixture's ballast was on it's way out. I don't recall the game we were playing but it was a type where you could surmise what the other was holding by what they discarded. Every time one of us was on to the other, the light would flicker...without fail!, and we'd look up at each other and giggle. I kid you not!!!
Beware of 'Ghost Switching'
I have had a C-J Primier 17LS for over a decade and it has served me well. About a month ago it started switching from phono to C.D. or other modes, all by itself. I never had this problem before. I don't use the remote so took out the batteries thinking the remote may be the issue. No help. The Ghost Switching only occured while I was in the Phono Mode. I sent the unit back to C-J for repair. They had it for two months, could not replicate the issue and found nothing wrong internally. After I put the unit back in my system it started to Ghost Switch again. I placed a tin foil shield over the section where the romote sensor eye is located on a hunch. No more issues. It seems outside signals were causing my pre-amp to Ghost Switch. Not sure what type of signals could cause this, but if you experience such an issue save yourself some grief and money by placing a shield of heavy tin foil over your remote 'eye'. This may start to become a common issue with all the wireless devices in use.
