Dielectric grease on connection ends

I was changing a coil on one of my bikes earlier, and as always, applied a light film of dielectric grease on the coil outputs, and on the spark plug boots. A thought occurred to me that this may be a valid application in audio connections as well. A small amount applied with a cotton swab to bananas/spades/rca's etc. may help, and I'm thinking about giving it a go. Was wondering if this has been tried by any other members, and thoughts on the pro/con aspects.

Thanks for the nice words, Dave. There’s certainly no reason for me to take umbrage, as I would consider it to be a great compliment to be mistaken for a designer of highly regarded audio electronics such as Ralph. And perhaps the mixup was contributed to by the fact that he and I usually agree about things in threads here, and often provide thoughts here that are similar.

BTW, for many years I too have used DeoxIT Gold (formerly known as Caig ProGold which Randy referred to above), and have been very pleased with it.

Best regards,
