Hi i've had some OLD hifi equipment in my office for years now (its where my legacy kit goes to die!).
It comprises:
Amp: Pioneer A400, CD: Marantz CD52, Tuner: Denon TU260L, Speakers: Mission 760i.
Recently the speakers have been getting a lot of interference - crackling and popping.
I suspect the kit needs a good clean, as its been unmoved for about 12 years(!!) and my office is a pretty dusty room.
What would you recommend for me to use to clean the equipment?
I was thinking of some sort of solvent cleaner for all the interconnects - does anyone have any recommendations?
And possibly opening up the Amp and maybe the CD player and cleaning the internals via a can of compressed air.
Does all this sound sensible, and PLEASE can anyone recommend an appropriate interconnect cleaner.
Also i'm taking delivery of a new TV (Panny 32LZD81) and a PS3 with Play TV this week. Should I be pre-treating/cleaning the interconnects with anything when I hook them up?
Thanks,
Dave
