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.
And
if
you make such stuff... Think about it... See above.
Make
something else, no fear of competing with us in
manufacturing anything
like that... We are not that stupid.
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, shouting and screaming 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 at the very least.
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.
