cable connector cleaner/contact enhancer


What, if anything, do you use to clean/condition all of your power cable plugs, spades/bananas/interconnect jacks?

I have found that the following in some capacity achieves "cleaning".

(1) I use bare speaker wire. Perhaps once a year or so I will clip off the ends and create newly unshielded ends.

(2) in the case of rca or xlr, simply unplug and replug the connector. the "re-seating" tends to be desirable every so often, albeit infrequently.

(3) rubbing alcohol if some foreign matter is visible on the connector

I spray deoxit D5 from time to time over the bare speaker wire ends on amp side and on speaker side.
