Contact Treatment

Many years ago there was a wonderful contact treatment called Tweek. It wasn't suitable for some applications, but it worked magic on small signal contacts. Tweek hasn't been available in the US for a long time (but we're working on it!), so here's a close second: Caig ProGold.

An application of ProGold deoxidizes and cleans contacts of surface contamination. It also penetrates plated surfaces and bonds, on a molecular level, to the base metal, actually improving conductivity for better signal transfer. ProGold is available as a spray (seen left) or as a precision pen-type applicator.

Treating your systems contacts can make a dramatic difference, especially on source components (i.e., CD players, processors, cartridge pins, and tonearm connectors) and preamplifier ins and outs.

Cleaning ALL of the contact surfaces in our system at least once every six months is a mandatory part of our maintenance regimen. You should do the same!
