Keeping Tube pins and connections clean. - 11/13/08 05:46 AM
Greetings all you Outlaws!
Most of you who know my posts that I use my tube based system when I want to get serious about music. I will use my Desktop PC out the the 1070/Anthem and that is really nice since I figured out how to get the best sound.
When I do not use my tube system for a while, I do notice some noise from the tubes yet it will go away after a while.
I used Deoxit from Caig to clean the pins on all input/driver tubes. I also used the Deoxit to clean speaker connections and also at the amp.
I am pleased to report the noise has gone away and I hear improved sound. I should use the stuff on all the female RCA inputs.
I picked this up at Radio Shack so I suggest to you, go try some!
