The Monkey Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 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?

Pars Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Deoxit and ProGold are good stuff. Make sure you wipe it off as completely as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jinp6301 Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 That reminds me to get some too for my t-amp. Group Buy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fitz Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Yeah, it does work. You could try cleaning it with alcohol first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augsburger Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 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.

luvdunhill Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I'd recommend a good yeast smack-pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spritzer Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 I start off re soldering all the connections on the offending RCA jack but Deoxit does work very well. Try Brasso for very oxidized connectors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Brasso for very oxidized connectors. 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
