Deoxit Gold...Not Just For Tubes?


I have been using Deoxit Gold on my tube pins and find it beneficial. I wondered if anyone has found it useful to also apply Deoxit Gold to other connection points throughout the entire system, i.e. RCA pics, XLR pins, Speaker Cable ends, etc?

It's clearly not just for tubes and says so on the literature that comes with it. I use it a couple of times a year, but to tell the truth, I really dislike the sound of the system right after I use it. I just do it for maintenance purposes.

That's why I mentioned the old tubes with steel pins cleaned to "gleaming". A couple of the tubes I've gotten like that were absolutely shrill and unlistenable - very out of character from what I had come to expect of an RCA. One set was RCA 12AY7 black plates, another was RCA 12AX7 gray plates.
