CAUTION !!!
!!!
WARNING !!!
Do
not use ANY silver- or metallic-particle contact treatments on Jena
Labs cables... Or on anybody's interconnects for that matter.
These treatments WILL migrate around in the connector and cause aberrant behavior or short circuits.
Think about it... does that not make sense. Tiny metal bits in a
fluid, painted into a connector and you expect that it won't move
around?
Also, use of silver- or metallic-particle treatments often leads to
amplifier oscillation, which can cause catastrophic amplifier failure.
Severe damage may also occur to speakers connected to the amp.
USE OF ANY SILVER- OR METALLIC-BEARING CONTACT TREATMENT ON JENA LABS
PRODUCTS WILL INSTANTLY VOID ALL WARRANTIES AND FACTORY TRADE-IN
POLICIES. This includes plugging an untreated cable into a socket
previously treated with these treatments.
Its considered impolite to use all caps in text because it is the same a yelling at someone...
DO NOT USE METALLIC FLUIDS ON ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS SUCH AS CABLE INTERCONNECTS, WALL SOCKETS, POWER PLUGS!
Am I making my point. That stuff causes damage, we've seen it. Don't fall pray to the snake oil peddler.
Liquid or cream + metal conductive powder + your stereo = high probability of short circuits.
- Ok here is help if you have actually done this horror to your equipment and it survived:
Silver and metallic contact treatments CANNOT effectively be removed
with cotton swabs and household alcohol. We have found the following
procedure to be effective:
1. Flush the contaminated connector with CRC Industries part number
05151--Brakleen® Brake Parts Cleaner--followed by blasting with
compressed air. Repeat until the Brakleen® flushing fluid comes out
clean and free of metallic debris.
2. Flush the connector with CRC Industries part number 05101--QD®
Electronic Cleaner--followed by blasting with compressed air. Repeat at
least three (3) times.
Note: Both Brakleen and QD are rated as “plastic-safe” by CRC Industries.
3. Once clean, treat the connectors with a non-metallic and
non-solids-residue contact treatment. We highly recommend Jena
Labs’ Jena Contact Enhancer or Caig Labs’
“DeoxIT® SHIELD” contact protector.
The CRC products can be found at most leading automotive parts and supply shops. Product details are located online at:
