Folks, I have a question here;
For Automobile turn-signal light bulbs and such, we use this thing called "Dielectric Tune-up Grease" at the sockets. I believe this prevents corrosion by moisture.
But in any event, is this grease a good idea for cotacts such as jack, tube pins/sockets ??
Also, the "grease" contains "silicone", does this mean this is a "gel" form of, say, "contact cleaner"?
Anyone knows pros and cons about this?? |

As a general rule I try to keep automotive electrical and music electronics away from each other.
I think we have all learned this lesson if you have ever used the Peavey amps with the horrible Molex connector for the speaker. In general, most music equipment tends to live indoors and not be exposed to the elements. Your gear should not be exposed like your car is.
