Which Deoxit...?

Deoxit D5 would be a better solution for cleaning used connectors. Some people experienced using as such could change a little bit the sound quality after a couple of months. Worse case scenario could happen with  cleaning products like Walker, Cardas, etc. Therefore it is recommended to clean those contacts/plugs with alcohol right after applying Deoxit.

 

 

For cleaning I use MG Chemicals 409B Electrosolve Zero Residue Contact Cleaner.

MG has a UK distribter, as far a I know.

Before the MG I used Kontak (very expensive) and found that the Electrosolve works just as well.

I use D5 for electrical parts and F5 for mechanical parts. For XLR pins I use extra spin-brush dremmel tool.

How much is Electrosolve? I was also considering Servisol which is about 75% cheaper than DeoxIT. Why the hell is DeoxIT so expensive...?!!

A 12 oz can of the 409B is listed on Amazon-UK for 17 GBP.

Think my last can (California) was $14-$15 including tax.

I have a local shop that carries it, along with the Caig products et cetera.

Nothing wrong with Caig cleaner, other than that for my usage I then have to clean it off with another product.

All I want is a clean connection sans residue, especially in regard to tube pins and sockets.
