I've been enjoying my Rotel set-up for a couple of years now but am embarrassed to say that beyond Swiffering the dust and cat hair off occasionally I've done absolutely no maintenance or cleaning whatsoever. I know that I should be wiping the contacts every once in a while, but is there something else I should be doing? Does anyone here actually crack the case of their preamp or amp to dust inside? Does Rotel equipment require some sort of special maintenance? Thanks!

I dust my gear once a week. I don't like it dusty. But you may want to use a computer compressed air. Use it to blow out the inside.The binding posts and line in connections you can clean with a dry cloth. Just wipe and go.Originally posted by MitchellD
Audioquest provided me with a special cloth to polish my silver spade ends on my wires. Some kind of metal cleaner in the cloth

Hey there,
So I found a RCD-971 locally that I picked up for a good price, but it'll either be one of those 'best-deal-ever' or 'waste-of-money' sort of things. Wondering if there's some simple routine maintenance I can/should do?
The original owner said that about 1% of the time,... -

Hi all,
Now the new black piano lacquer is on the market for some time.... what about its cleaning needs.
In the old 802+ series, I had to remove weakly a thin layer of white dust from the marlan head. The wooden body needed no care.
Of course horizontal...
