How to Clean Creek 5350 SE Integrated Amp

Hi Folks,

I have been reading through older threads about the drop out and static issues that the Creek 5350 SE amp seems to have.

Seems like this is my situation as well.
Looks like my first step should be cleaning the ribbon connector pins (and everything else whilst I'm under the hood) to see if that fixes the problem before sending it off somewhere.

I'm excited that people here have had good results this way and that the amp tends to sound better than before, so I am eager to try.

My question then, is , how should I do this? Q-tips? Cloth? What sort of fluid?

Oh really? Thank you for posting (and for taking the trouble to post again when the first didn't "stick"!).
Glad to know that it can be attended to with regular stuff.
I will give it a go and report back. Keeping fingers crossed that the issues will resolve this way w/o needing to send it off for a bigger fix.
