BTW, if you put that Silver coating goop on you tube pins, it will sound much better fora little while. Then it hardens, is hell to get off, bakes into the tube sockets and may require socket replacements. Bill
Dielectric grease on connection ends
I was changing a coil on one of my bikes earlier, and as always, applied a light film of dielectric grease on the coil outputs, and on the spark plug boots. A thought occurred to me that this may be a valid application in audio connections as well. A small amount applied with a cotton swab to bananas/spades/rca's etc. may help, and I'm thinking about giving it a go. Was wondering if this has been tried by any other members, and thoughts on the pro/con aspects.
