Just a reminder: (Read 4913 times)

Mark Seasoned Member Posts: 259	Just a reminder: 01/12/13 at 15:45:00 I just cleaned all my tube sockets and tube pins, my interconnects, amp RCA jacks, speaker terminals, etc. with isopropyl... Inside and out... The difference was like a substantial I/C upgrade... Maybe better... No kidding... Just do it!... (m.)

Pal: For the tube sockets, various dental brushes you can get at any drug store... Q-tips for everything else... The dental brushes come in three sizes [sm., med., lg.]...

The only hard part is getting inside of the grounding shrouds on the RCA plugs... If you flatten out a Q-tip, that should do it...

Note: I used 0000 steel wool to brighten up the tube pins first; that is, the vintage tube pins that tend to get kinda brownish...

Definite improvement... (m.)
