Gently turn the knob back and forth several times over the extent of it's range which should clean up the oxidation on the contacts and wiper from non-use for several months. Pots due that.
Contact cleaner for a noisy gain knob
A little old school maintenance question.
I have an original Jolida Glass FX Tube DAC that I don’t use very much only because the main stereo is in the living room and the TV is in the same room. My the is it a serious music fan so I have another system in my home office that gets more use. The Jolida DAC is fed source material from a Cambridge Audio CXC V2 CD Transport (no internal DAC) and that’s the only unit connected to it. I turned it on for the first time in months and when I adjusted the gain on the front park, there was scratching noise that indicates dirty contacts.
Anybody have suggestions for a reliable contact cleaner that’s safe for audio equipment?
