Stabilant 22A vs. DeoxIT Gold?
I wonder if anyone might have had an opportunity to evaluate the usage of
Stabilant 22A vs. DeoxIT Gold for maintaining good contact in connections? Both manufacturers claim that their product is ideal for this purpose, but the DeoxIT Gold is supplied in a much more user-friendly package, i.e. in a bottle, premixed with a brush in the cap. |

These are two different products. ProGold is sold as a cleaner, whereas
Stabilant is sold as a quantum-mechanical "enhancer". Both are overpriced. I have both, but use ProGold. If the connection is separated after a time, and rubbed with a clean cloth, there is usually some transfer of "schmutz" suggesting (but not proving) that ProGold lifts contaminants. When applied to exposed gold-plated contacts, ProGold does seem to clean them. |

They are totally different products for different things. DeOxit Gold is a thing for cleaning schmutz off of gold connectors. The regular DeOxit is a thing for cleaning schmutz off all kinds of connectors. Stabilant 22A is a thing that is conductive over a very short path but rapidly drops in conductivity with distance. It's a conductive polymer with some wierd properties. It is a good thing for connectors that are becoming intermittent due to vibration, because it forms a conductive film over the gaps. If contacts are dirty, stabilant-22 will make them worse. You have to start with clean connections. Stabilant-22 is sort of okay for dealing with worn-out connectors where the plating has rubbed through and the base metal is making contact. It is a good temporary fix when you cannot replace the connectors. Both manufacturers claim that their product is ideal for this purpose, but the DeoxIT Gold is supplied in a much more user-friendly package, i.e. in a bottle, premixed with a brush in the cap. They are totally unrelated products for totally different purposes, but they are both very good products for their intended use. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

I don't have long term results. Since stabilant is mostly alcohol, it cleans pretty well. I don't think there is any rule saying you can't use both. Greg |

Sorry to off topic, but it's ironic that I recently took this picture. http://www.sonicmusic.net/Schmutz.jpg carry on.... Poly |
