Similar obvious improvement: I just thoroughly cleaned the years old corroded rca jacks on my vintage McIntosh preamp. So old they are the close together ones, hard to clean but well worth it. I made a leather strap, put super fine steel wool on the inside of a loop, carried on like a professional shoe shine finale. Very glad I did it.
Don't just stop with the outside of the RCA's, clean the insides too! Power off and unplug the equipment. Spray DeoxIT or any other good, non-lubricant contact cleaner on a pipe cleaner, preferably white, and run it in and out of the plug until you can do it with a fresh one that comes out clean. It usually only takes a couple. You can grab the pipe cleaners at Hobby Lobby or just about any craft store.
