Treated my interconnects with Deoxit D5 today

If you feel you put it on a bit thick now is the time to wipe it off. I find Craig products v good but accept Stabilant 22 is probably best. When I run out of Caig Pro I’ll give Stabilant 22 a try; unless there’s some consensus that the Stabilant would make a difference :) 

Ptss,
I just pulled out my tube of Stabilant and see that I have a 5 ml bottle of the "stuff" and another bigger bottle of what smells like alcohol.  Am I to put the contents of the smaller bottle into the bigger bottle and then use that?  Previously, I used the full-strength fluid on my connections.  Thanks for you insights.  Whitestix

I had the same problem with D5, i.e. washed out sound. However I also use what used to be called Deoxit Gold ( the company seems to be changing the names) and that was quite the opposite, i.e a big improvement in sound quality. As I understand it the D5 is a straight cleaning fluid, the Gold is a cleaner plus a contact enhancer presumably it adds in some kind of fluid which is conductive. Possibly what we both found was that clean contacts don’t actually sound that good or the D5 leaves some kind of film. Irrespective, I just added an application of Gold and was very happy.    

I bought Tweek years ago, it evaporated in like a year or two, even though it was sealed tightly

You were fortunate.
