Folks, we have always encountered dirty contacts, yes? It's that crackling sound when our cable end got wiggled / rotated while it's still in the input jack. That's the sound of dirt interfering with connectivity. The people at Stedman have the above-depicted cleaning kits for you to use. By the looks of it, things are self-explanatory, you have disposable inserts to reach those inaccessible parts of the input jack, much like inserting cotton buds into the ears to dig out all those nasty ear wax.
Do you believe in this approach to contact cleaning? How many of us make it a conscious effort to actually clean the input jack's contact points?
After talking to the people around me (immediate feedback), nobody makes it a point to sit down after playing time to probe their instrument's input jacks with cleaning implements. They do spray those nasty areas with contact cleaning fluid every now & then to make sure things are in a playable condition. If the situation requires a dire need of input jack replacement, we would all agree that spending good money to get this done is a wise investment. In any case, the input jack is an expendable component of the instrument.
We would also agree that replacing dead input jacks is a preferred discourse as opposed to buying cleaner refills, yes?
