Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today

I have Stabilant but have not used it in years.  I thought it kind of gummed up my connections, but I don't think I diluted it.

At any rate, the former splendor of my system has now returned and I am hearing just what I heard before my connection-cleaning foray.  Go figure.  Erik was exactly right.  Thanks again for the input from you wise fellows.  

I have been using Deoxit D5 cleaner and ProGold G5 Conductivity and Conditioning Enhancer for overs 10 years without any sound degradation. For future cleaning, I would recommend following kit that has everything you need to clean the contacts,

Glad to hear it Whitestix!
Nothing worse than having this horrible gut feeling that somehow you screwed your own system up!

Maybe as a few have said it was a simple case of if a little is good, more must be better!

Enjoy the music.

Uber,
Thanks, friend, for the comment. Maybe I put on the Deoxit a tad to thick, but it has now settled down to its former wonderful sound.  I am hearing sweet wonderful music again!  No good deed goes unpunished, in my case.
