Deoxit for cables

Deoxit works great…good for sticky pots also.

Deoxit 100…lasts forever, use it for my guitar pedalboard (has a lot of important phone plug connections), any weird pot, clean hifi connections…and it does one dose shots to keep you from flooding things. I clean bare wire before putting it in proper spades/bananas/phone/Speakon plugs, etc. as bare wire is simply too exposed for its own good.

How can cleaning contacts which, for me anyway, allows signal to get through, dull that signal? Do people actually think signal is transformed by simply allowing it to be signal? Is it more "signally?" 

I think applying the term "theoreticaly" to a statement of the obvious (Contact cleaners clean the contacts. Who knew?) shows a clear disregarding of irony. Yping, you are an Irony Dodger.

It seems highly unlikely that applications that allegedly help a signal to come through (most connectors with gold plating do this just fine anyway) or stop the dreaded "micro arcing" plague will not have any effect on that signal…unless the crud on your connections has gummed things up to an amazing degree (you live on a boat, in a lighthouse, a tent in Guam), you're going to end up with whatever the signal was in the first place. Deoxit comes in handy for the questionable connections of phone plugs (a really outdated design) in a guitar pedal board because those sort of suck anyway, and sticky pots are just that…so it cleans those. The results simply allow the signal to be there, as opposed to not being there…that's it.
