    I may be confusing the 2, but I think I read somewhere putting vaseline on audio connectors.

    a friend mentioned using it on cars, which jogged by memory that I read it was used on hifi, maybe i have dreamed it?

    Vaseline on electrical connections which are exposed to the elements is a trick as old as the hills to keep everything in order.

    I still use it for car battery connections.

    what Mick said
    particulary on auto battery terminals, it stops that nasty white fuzz forming.

    doubt it would do much on audio tho:confused:
