DeoxIT on cables/Jacks?


Have a bottle of deoxIT D5. Is it a goid idea to use it on the rca/speaker jacks of a 10 year old amp? Also thinking of doing every rca/speaker wire leads? Any audio improvement?

Dean, yes - use it to clean any contact surface. I use regularly on tube amp pins and sockets A good cleaning on the interconnects WILL make a difference in sound.  Dale
Please clarify:  

It doesn't remove oxidation from metal surfaces therefore it will not improve sonics? 

Or, removing oxidation from metal surfaces doesn't improve sonics?

- Thanks.

It is claimed to remove oxidation from metal surfaces. If it works, good! Will it improve sonics? I doubt it!

Deoxit makes a noticeable improvement in sonics. More clarity, less grain; subtle, but obvious gain in overall refinement. Do your interconnects also!

Take Qtips (not the plastic stick version) and pull the cotton off the ends so that the “stick” is bare, or with only the thinnest layer of cotton left. Dip or spray the ends with Deoxit, stick in the ground flanges of your interconnects’ male RCA connectors and twirl around inside. You’ll be amazed at their dark color afterwards.  Then do the same for the inside of the female RCA connectors on your amp. Don’t reuse. Use clean Qtips for each connection.

You will hear the difference.
@racked, Not recommended for tube sockets according to manufacturers. You don't want to leave any residue inside the socket. 
Also, when using on tube pins, wipe off all the gunk and make sure pins are dry before using.

I personally find more sonic improvements from cleaning and tightening  very dirty or loose connections than from fancy cables (past a certain point of quality)> This, though, presumes they are dirty. One effective way to clean them is to insert/remove. For connections without a wiping action Deoxit or cramolin is a good idea. CRC also makes very good cleaners and lubricants/oxi barrier products.
So, yes with caveats
