Fuzzy playback

I have noticed that my system sounds fuzzy or scratchy. I am pretty sure the ethernet connections are the fault.

I have used DeOxIt2 for years. It has been a good fix for this problem. For some reason, I did not do that when I added filters.

I have seen some folks are using other contact enhancers. I don't want to spend $500 a bottle. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

As usual it was those RCA connections at the crossover. A new crossover is $750. I chose to fix this Rean RCA base, gold plated. $10 for a set of 6. While I have it out I am replacing the volume potentiometers. I wanted stepped attenuator instead of the old one. Would not fit. So I am installing SMPT volume controls, $20 each. $100 labor. Or I buy a new case, then I might as well buy the new crossover. We will see how this sounds.

Really nice results. More presence, wider sound stage. I am not sure how this all breaks in but it sounds better than ever right now.
