I agree with Hifihvn, There is no need to use chemicals on the AC plug. If you want it to look nice polish it with clean steel wool. I also agree with his comments regarding Caig products. Caig products all leave a film which thickens over time. I prefer a good electrical contact cleaner that leaves no film for speaker cable and IC connections. You can find these cleaners at Radio Shack or any good electronic supply outlet.
Cleaning and Maintenance of Connections.....
Every year or two years, I grab my cleaning kit consisting of Caig Deoxit and remove all my cables and clean my connectors, power cords, etc. It seems to make a noticeable difference in the sound quality. After cleaning, the sound tends to be rather clinical and abrasive...and then, a few days later, the system settles, and sounds amazing.
One thing I've never cleaned is the receptacles. Does anyone clean these? If so, how do you go about doing it? Turn off the breaker to the receptacle and then drop deoxit on a power cord and plug it in??? The idea of not wiping off the excess deoxit is what I don't like....Any thoughts?
