Learsfool, I find that any time I disturb the cables with my cleaning, the sound always becomes a bit brighter (perhaps abrasive was too strong a word) and less dimensional. Once the cables settle (typically a few days), the sound improves.
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?
