CDX no sound -griplets?

I agree with Martin.

Reed relays are dirt cheap and a doddle to replace. The other relays are for CDs that have treble boost (pre-emphasis). 

In Spotify, for instance, they can't be bothered about that and those CDs are incorrectly ripped, which makes them very bright.

Hello , 
Sorry for being a pain and refresh the post( I have same issue with my CDX)  Where can I locate mute relay?

Thank you.
