Which Caig?


Hi All,

I want to clean up my RCA and XLR connectors and have looked at Caig solutions. The problem is there are tons of Caig products - Deoxit Gold G100L, Deoxit D5, Gold G5, Gold GX5 etc. My RCAs are not badly oxidized. Which Caig should I use?

Also, I would prefer to use the Signet RCA cleaning tool for RCA. But for XLR connectors, what tool do you use with Caig to apply and clean? I am not sure if the Mobile Fidelity - Connector Cleaning Brush can be used for this purpose.

Please advise. Thanks!

Deoxit #D100L-25c. This is the 25mL squeeze bottle with a long needle that gets inside connectors and deposits a controlled drop or two. Clean male XLR pins with a pointed Q-tip from the beauty section of the pharmacy. For female XLR and tube sockets you'll need a kit of round brushes.
That's a good choice, I have the Survival Kit as well. But you'll still want the large squeeze bottle, as the amount of DeOxit supplied in the kit is only a small tube and a small aerosol that tends to over-spray.
