Alberporter, was there concern that this goop would attract dust or other undesirable substances that would deteriorate the cable, connections or otherwise interfere with transmission? Did it require special periodic cleansing? What happened to this type of transmission? Seemed like there was a lot of noise (sorry) about it a while back. It was a fairly expensive option at the time. Just curious.
Dialectric grease any thoughts
Hello everyone, I recently purchased new interconnects(1 meter pair XLR balanced) and the company who makes them recomends "the use of contact enhancement fluid or dialectric grease on all electrical contact serfaces, including audio signal connectors and a-c power plugs and sockets." I am skeptical to use dialectric grease on the XLR plugs and outlets, if I don't like it- it may prove to be difficult to remove if not impossible. I've heard of others who have had good results with it on Power cords, but was told not to do it to the signal cables, and now this company is telling me to use it- so confusing! shed some light on my situation. ~Tim
