I'd have to smoke some good quality Mary-Joanna to clean cables for 2 hours.
Otherwise it's too boring.
Most of my time spent to clean bare wires that speakers are connected with. I have to do that once every couple of months. I use mix of acetone and alcohole.
Interconnects I clean once in blue moon or upon visualizing the need.
Bathe gently in non-deodorant soap.

Rinse thoroughly with warm distilled water.

Towel dry and sprinkle lightly with talcum powder.

Wrap in a lint free cotton blanket.

Leave a night light on if necessary.

Maybe take the wires to a nice spa and have all that done for you?

A chocolate bath with a thorough rinse might really revitalize those tired old wires.
Hello Tpreaves,
I do have all seperates. Pre-amp, Phono-amp, CD player, Tuner, Turntable, SUT, Mono block amps main system, Speakers with triad connections, pair of sub-woofers, sub-woofer amp, external cross-over for subs only, digital room correction for subs and all the power cables.
I do have arthritis in my hands so that slows me down.
When I'm done I make sure that the cotton swab is clean, no more black oxidation on it. Then I treat it with Craig gold except for the power cables.
It does take time, it is a cheap twesk to do, and it does make the music sound better.
