Apply Silclear on any high-touted, gold-plated connector and you'll immediately get an improvement in picture and/or sound quality. We recommend applying the thinnest possible coating for best performance, which will last for lasts 10 to 20 unpluggings. Comes in a 7-gram jar with small applicator brush that may last a lifetime -- just don't loose the jar. 30-Day Money-Back
 
As a component of grease, silver may not tarnish. This stuff may actually work and though I am sensitive to snake oil, it's the price that puts me off, even though it is reasonable, given the silver content. I'm really on the fence on this one.
 
I have a can of Deoxit gold from the Clinton administration.. Not even half empty yet, and we used it all the time on amp refurbishments in the guiyar shop.

Does a great job cleaning up the nickel plated RCAs on the old receivers too.
 
Used to use Deoxit Gold on IBM T30 laptop ram slots. Worked great, got it from Radio Shack. I keep a spray can of it, but don't have many real gold contacts or ram stick issues any more.
 
This stuff does work according to a friend. But it is messy.

I'm a firm believer in renewing connections all connections about once a year...learned from that friend. Just breaking and remaking connections in the rig will give a new, clean connection not affected by the year or more of contamination that has started to degrade the previous connections. Whenever I bring this up there is a chorus of agreement from folks that do regularly clean connections and a few new converts.

Might get as much improvement from just cleaning all the connections as with using this silver stuff, though.
 
Whenever I get a used piece of gear, I take an old male RCA cable end, some Deoxit Gold and clean the inputs. Just a little spray and twist the male back and forth. Cleans the corrosion and leaves a protective coating. (Not sure how long the coating lasts though?)
