Lubricating oils depending on composition will affect the casing depending on the polymer they are made of. Is much safer to use soapy water or better graphite instead. Hope this helps
Help! Will lubricant affect spkr.cables?
My H.Tech. Pro-9 bi-wire speaker cables are a very tight fit when trying to slide them up inside my B&W speaker stands. If I put some lubricant on the outside cover to help slide them through would it affect the sound of the wires? Any recommendations? I don't want to damage the casing in case of future resale.

BE CAREFUL. Don't want to venture many guesses as to what such a lubricant would do to the parts involved. I would recommend getting some sort of contact enhancement solution and using it. It should slicken things up a bit but is designed for that sort of thing too. Before you use some sort of lubricant if you decide to go that route, I suggest you drop an email to the cable manufacterers and ask them for ideas and/or warnings. |

Talc is actually an abrasive. That's why it'll make a TT's belt grab better.

I'd avoid using lubricant, if at all possible. If you must use a lube, I'd suggest something designed specifically for the purpose, such as this. |
