I just pulled the 19 tubes from each of my Atma-Sphere MA-1 amps. Not easy. Some tubes were downright grabby and I worried about damaging them in the process. So before I put them back in (after a factory mod to the amps) I need to clean the pins. But it takes two to tango: namely, the pins and the sockets they slide into. I think what I need is both a cleaner and a lubricant that won't mess up the sound or cause me other problems.
Jim McShane mentioned DeOxit. Is that the best stuff for both jobs? Thanks. Chuck
