Best practices to clean the binding posts on your speakers and amps?
I'm moving my speakers around again due to a low WAF where they are now and It's been a while since I cleaned the binding/plugin posts on my speakers and also on my amps. I currently am trying banana plugs to hook up my speaker wire, and I want the best contact with a smooth, clean connection. What do you guys do?

@speedysteve4 Not really! I buy used gear and after a thorough cleaning I give the terminals a spray and wipe with isopropyl alcohol. After that I don’t bother with further cleaning. I have not noticed any change in the sound years later. |
I think isopropyl alcohol makes sense. I do remember many years ago, someone suggesting to simply pull the banana interconnects out of a speaker’s inputs and then plug them back in again. The same was suggested for cleaning the inputs and outputs on preamplifiers and power amplifiers. I wish that I could remember who suggested this method of cleaning the inputs and outputs of audio gear, but it was many years ago.
