I bought a used Emaxx and the reason I started using deans was that every connection on the Emaxx looked corroded. I asked the prev owner about that and he assured me he was not using acid core solder, but a good resin core solder. I went ahead and redid every joint using deans and saw an immediate improvement - run cooler and ran longer. I have never had anything that even begins to look like corrosion start on a conn I've used deans on.

I'm sorry to hear that they've discontinued it. I wonder just how much miniscule lead exposure the enviro's are saving us from this time? Glad I stocked up - at least it will be a few years before I need to get more.
