When wire DOES make a difference

[dualazmak]

Just for all of your reference (and interest), I do believe periodical (say, annual or semi-annual) complete cleaning (and re-tightening!) of all the metal-to-metal connectors/contacts in our audio system would be considerably better than doing nothing.

Spoiler: Semi-annual cleaning of all the metal-to-metal connectors/contacts

Please refer to my posts #671, #675, #676, #680, as well as #895, #904 and #906 all on my project thread.

I also wrote here recently regarding my semi-annual cleaning.

By the way, on Sunday last weekend, I did my regular semi-annual complete/intensive cleaning and re-tightening of all the metal-to-metal contacts/connectors in my whole audio system (ref. here #671 and #895); it took about continuous five (5) hours.

I use solely IPA (Isopropyl Alcohol), and I (at least I myself) believe that we should not use Caig DeoxIT DN5 and/or similar protective(?) materials (refer to posts #676, #677, #680, #682 on my project thread).
