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

I've gone through a couple bottles of Kontak over the years.  Like it, works great, but is just too expensive.  Caig DeOxit D5 cleans just as well at a fraction of the cost.  Alcohol can be used (although the D5 is far more effective), but stay away from rubbing alcohol which typically contains lanolin and/or other skin softeners that will leave a film.  Use a 95% or higher purity isopropyl alcohol instead.


bcowen, I agree with you on the rubbing alcohol. I mentioned "rubbing" alcohol previously but yes I too look or isopropyl or a high purity alcohol. Everclear is a pretty good choice :)

Use Kontak here. But my research led me to believe that the lack of residue, over time would be worth it.
