July 2, 200818 yr comment_135876 Does Deoxit work? I'm having a slight problem with one pair of my SRM-1/MK2's RCA jacks and was wondering if they need to be cleaned or, y'know, something. Does Deoxit do anything or does it spray snake oil? Report
July 2, 200818 yr comment_135877 Deoxit and ProGold are good stuff. Make sure you wipe it off as completely as possible. Report
July 2, 200818 yr comment_135885 Yeah, it does work. You could try cleaning it with alcohol first though. Report
July 2, 200818 yr comment_135890 It depends on how oxidized your connectors are. I tried it on some mildly oxidized rcas and noticed no difference. With highly oxidized RCAs maybe maybe not I tend not to let my connectors get that far. On speaker spades I noticed no difference but I tighten the heck out of the jacks so maybe that nullified the damage caused by the oxidation. Deoxit does make the connections look good though. Report

It looks like the RCA jacks are actually integrated into a plate that gets screwed in to the back panel. Is that what you have found, spritzer? I ask because I am considering just swapping out the jacks all together, but I wonder if that will present fit issues. Report

The SRM-T1 has jacks like that so just unscrew the plate and replace all of the RCA's with some better ones along with the wiring. The WBT newxtgen jacks ft perfectly... Report
