Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today

I have a nice audio system and had a great notion to clean all my connections with alcohol and treat all the connections with Deoxit D5.  I did all the fuses as well.  Well, the result is that the system now sounds flat and lifeless as hell... way different than I previously heard.  What's up with this?  I am crestfallen...

Glad to hear it Whitestix!
Nothing worse than having this horrible gut feeling that somehow you screwed your own system up!

Maybe as a few have said it was a simple case of if a little is good, more must be better!

Enjoy the music.

Ha,
Johnson's ear buds work the best!

If you have checked all phasing and have reversed the ic, there is not much,more you can do bar wait and see if it comes back to you.

Good luck!

Honestly sounds like you may have inadvertently mixed up an interconnect or speaker cable when replacing them all.
Maybe give them all a double check and make sure all the pos and neg are correct, easy to do for sure.

Good luck
