i'm using Deoxit D5 contact cleaner & Deoxit Gold G100L conditioner/protector as well.

they may not be the best from the market but they are really useful to protect our system.

I have been cleaning my rig and items for some time since a friend of mine explained its importance too me and actually showed me the difrence on the spot.

 

Cleaning actually removes build up of dirt or oxides that degrades any electrical connection and will degrade your rigs out put. Not to mention having aesthetically squeeky clean connections.

 

I have been using the off the shelf Electrical Contact cleaners. It works for me.

 

Then I tried the Caig product both the cleaner and conditioner. The difference is really something. Not only the sound opens up. Clarity gets better too. On my Amp the volume increased substantially.

 

This might sound as a advertisement but I go for what Eric's doin. Sharing some inexpensive tweaks and basic info on cleaning not only the exterior of your rig but the not so noticeable connections.

 

From my initial cleaning of ALL my items I think I used up only 10% of the can and soo little of the conditioner. If the duration actually follows the 6 month effectivity stated the cleaner and the conditioner will definitely last a long time.

 

BTW the cleaner and conditioner had a great effect for me on my Yamamoto's tubes. I nearly forgot. the price is equivalent to 11 McDonald Lunch meals. We got it on a shop at Adelphi.

I have been thru the contact cleaner tweaks like craig, VDH, Cardas, a few japanese brands and etc, yes it is a must have but paying a premium for one is no longer my choice. As long as you clean them regularly (but not too regularly, if not you might remove the plating as well.), the average contact cleaners work just as well.

Can you tell me if I can buy 3.5 mm and S-video Jack covers my Laptop is accumulating some inside even though I clean my stuff at least once a week. Well, the SG Humidity doesn't really help.

There is McDonalds Promotion for a lunch 12-2pm (or is it 3 pm) for S$4.50. Just do the math. And yes its for both,The Cleaner is 4.5 lunches and the conditioner 6.5 lunches.

I believe that's where the conditioner comes in. If the conditioner does what it says it can accomplish application of the contact cleaner should be between a 4-6 month period and anything between is just wiping off grime. I just bought it last week. And the contacts seems to fare very well as I wipe them off with a microfiber cloth usually thrice a week or whenever possible. I hope it does work though. loL!

 

For the price it's not really expensive unless you use up the cleaner in one clean up job. The last time I cleaned, My yamamoto, My mixer, My 3 Headphones, plugs on My IEMS and my LOD and ICs, and yes my power cables. My cleaner didn't loose a lot of weight but did feel that there is more air My GUESStimate should be 10-20% of the small aerosol can.

My advise on the RCA covers. Share it w/ friends. Any one w/ a home rig will surely need them unless the room is hermetically sealed or has humidity control. lol! Think of it as a Mini MO!

 

From my experience they sometimes get lost when I get too focused on my Rig when I try out new cables or do reconfiguration. So it is a good idea to have some as spare.

 

Btw, does any one know where to get covers for XLR jacks/sockets locally been tracking them. But they aren't cheap from international sites. =(

 

Some pics of the covers on the LC3 I'm selling. =)
