What’s your favorite cleaning method for connections

Thanks, I’ll check out Stereoshine!

Use a soft fresh pink eraser for the surfaces you can reach with it.

On the grease question, use PTFE (Teflon) grease, not Lithium.   Worked for a U.S. turntable manufacturer and always PTFE never Lithium, i.e. for TT bearings, etc.  

I bought Kee silicone grease but it’s for the drawer on a couple of cd transport drawers on older players that I have. I’ll keep the Teflon in mind if/when I need to lube TT bearing points. Which is how often? Any have thoughts on that subject? I don’t listen to records as much as I would like so my main table might have a hundred hours on it at this point.

Johnny all the more reason not to use lithium based lubricants because with lack of use, it tends to lose its moisture content and cake up.    Depending on the table, lubing your bearings should be easy, once a year is fine…some do it more and others never do it.
