Thanks for checking GH, but after Dave's hell story with the Silclear, and Ralphs comments on the creeping aspect, I am going to stay clear of any coatings.
Dielectric grease on connection ends
I was changing a coil on one of my bikes earlier, and as always, applied a light film of dielectric grease on the coil outputs, and on the spark plug boots. A thought occurred to me that this may be a valid application in audio connections as well. A small amount applied with a cotton swab to bananas/spades/rca's etc. may help, and I'm thinking about giving it a go. Was wondering if this has been tried by any other members, and thoughts on the pro/con aspects.

@erik_squires - Copper Oxide(Cu2O) is a semiconductor(Energy Band Gap of 2.147): http://www.skb.se/publikation/2303589/TR-11-08.pdf and has a dielectric constant of 18.1, which makes it even worse for audio signal connections: http://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=8423 and http://www.azom.com/article.aspx?ArticleID=8423 Perhaps you’re thinking about oxides of silver? |
