Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today


I have a nice audio system and had a great notion to clean all my connections with alcohol and treat all the connections with Deoxit D5.  I did all the fuses as well.  Well, the result is that the system now sounds flat and lifeless as hell... way different than I previously heard.  What's up with this?  I am crestfallen...

Pop quiz, Part 2 - What are the odds all the fuses are in the wrong direction?

I found something on Amazon
D.W. Electrochemical Stabilant 22 15m kit concentrate for $108.93
The product appears to have a 15ml eyedrop container and 5 brushes
Is this the gel form of Stabilant that you recommend?

My experience with Deoxit Gold (100% solution) was negative; I applied a small small quantity on my gold plated connectors and the sound became cold, harsh; after some days I cleaned two times with IPA 99% and the sound returned to pre-Deoxit state. If You have gold or rhodium plated connectors please just use IPA every six months. Deoxit Gold contain a corrosion inhibitor and act like an insulator, so in no way it can improve electrical connections. If You have oxidized connectors, change connectors or clean with a toothbrush and a lot of IPA. Caig write in their pdf that quantum tunnelling is the mechanism of action of the Deoxit Gold, but they don't explain in details.
