I'm laughing now, but...

My dog knocked a glass of apple cider onto my ....u12t, Sony M-9, and Project Red. They didn't get too wet, just a splash. I dried them, now have them locked up with silica packets.

Is there anything else I should do? How long should I wait to test if they're working?

Thank you!

This is just a quick subjective impression on one song, Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd:

  1. Project Red- nice on the initial mono segment and background voice effects, nice balance with initial guitars, vocal well placed in mix, slide guitar in background, kick drum (mid bass?) seems slightly heavy at times, percussion is balanced and 'inoffensive' (?), nice overall tonal balance

  2. Sony M-9 - initial AM-effects initially sound louder; the guitar solo comes in nicely over the top, slide guitar seems a bit more present; kick drum seems less present, with higher percussion a bit more 'tinny', overall maybe a little less dynamic contrast vs the Project Red.

  3. U12t - needs less power, more sensitive; initial background effects are more clear; fingers on guitar strings more evident; slide guitar seems more present; no tinny quality to upper percussion; mid bass has a nice kick, but not overpowering; overall clarity/details and balance is spot on; better separation between instruments; fade at the end more pronounced

So, my ranking:

  1. U12t
  2. Project Red
  3. Sony M-9
