Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!

People who think this kind of crazy impossible to understand stuff cannot possibly work should come hear my system. They would totally freak. 

LOLs!  Send a sample to the AudioScienceReview guy so he can measure!.

I have no idea why anyone would freak over a subjective review. 

I won’t be buying $350 goop to smear on my expensive gear from a very expensive wire company but to each their own.

Also they are sound rating the goop in various categories?  Doesn’t what you smear it on have something to do with that?

Not  buying it. 

Laughing...

Goop or any such variant ….it’s like putting a lipstick on a pig. Enough said!

I have to admit,I am very intrigued by contact enhancers,or really, a lot of tweaks out there.  $350 worth of intrigue?  Not sure about that at this point in time.  But still intrigued!  I have a little background in racing. Cars,snowmobiles, motorcycles,so I grasp that a bunch of little improvements usually add up to big improvements. 

Clean connections and contact enhancers are not a bad idea. Just does not cost $350 to do it well. Except for a handful of audiophiles.  

@mapman I agree 100% and I use Stabilant 22 the same stuff my Avionics Tech uses in our DHC6 and KA200. I have used it for 20 years and have used it on sensors in my race bikes also. Cleans all the noise out of my data acquisition.

This product works. Have more to do. Completed DAC and transport both inside and out and all the magnets..everything sounds right correct and aligned. Not sure if my subs are required as my direct coupled monitors now have deeper detailed bass with more apparent speed and punch. This 2way sounds more like a single driver speaker. I have been rotating the tried and true and I am hearing sonic cues I never heard before.
More music and much less noise something I didnt think I had. 
Next 2 steps are to treat all the interior connections on both of my amps and my preamp. I treated 4 connections on a friends system he was so impressed he ordered the small kit. Great product worth each and every dollar. Tom

I hate this hobby. 

Hobby? I thought it was a calling?

I just now read the review..I worked from the inside out..more to go. Even larger soundstage with more air all around and over my head and down the side walls. The air has escaped the walls of the container. Tom

Meh.
Put 1/2 t of graphene in 6 ml of gear oil.
$10.
BFD

It is predictable, it is never about the tweek itself, it is only about the cost of it.

@fuzztone you crack me up.

Fuzztone it will make your Fuzz less fuzzy and more linear and straight. Tom

Clean connections & contact enhancers are a great idea! I tried them (Deoxit products) on the battery posts of my transports remote that wasn't working... Still didn't work. I then put a small dot of this product on the posts & it now works. Not all contact enhancers are equal. 

Notes:
No, I didn't buy the product for this particular application
No, this particular application didn't improve sound quality (it's the only time I've used the product where it did not however)

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can smell it from here. Gear oil stinks.. :-) But I bet it would work..

Just mix a little distilled water with the graphene dust.

OR

Use Rislone Engine oil treatment (I like the smell) or 3 in one oil if you want it to set soft.

2 oz of dust is 20-30 dollars 5.00 for the oil.. Can make a quart of the stuff for 30 - 35 dollars.

Enough to paint every wire in the space shuttle, TWICE.. :-)

Another vote for the "I hate this hobby" response.

@earlflynn, thanks for the "realistic" tip on the Stabilant 22, going to check it out.

More S… for Yum Yum’s to waste their money on. My guess is someone was able to a/b test buying two identical cheap systems let’s all go give it a listen.

@boxer12 Stabilant 22 would do the same thing. Had an issue with a Air Bag senso on a old Honda Accord my kid had. Decided to clean up the contacts and pigtail, apply Stabilant 22 and bingo issue resolved. $40.00 on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/D-W-Electrochemical-Stabilant-15m-Concentrate/dp/B001E53PG6/ref=dp_prsubs_1?p...

Kid drove the car for 6 years and still has it up in South Bend where he attends Norte Dame getting his PHD.

@millercarbon

I figured you were approaching it more as a crusade? ;-)

I'm not dismissive of this stuff at all although I'm likely never to try it.  I'm just very happy with how my system is sounding and am just enjoying music listening and buying vinyl these days.  It's all about priorities (which of course are always subject to change).

@three_easy_payments +1 agree 100%.  I tried cable lifters and still use them even though I can not hear a difference at all. 

I wonder if its just graphene in a nonoxidizing oil like squalene

If it was < $100 Im sure a lot more audiophiles would take the plunge

Man, this is a tough crowd!
I, being the ultimate tweaker, and now retired with extra time available have tried this product. It really is a winner and I agree with the review. It is now on all my cable connections etc. Really enhances the sound stage, imaging, etc. Everything positive. Even more so than the yellow QSA fuse!
I should note that I did at one time try the PPT paste, but I thought it diminished the highs. This product does not.
And, I do use Stabilant 22 but it is now used primarily on lawn / car batteries.

Got to try it to believe it.

That sounds pretty shady @tsushima1 . People who knowingly go to other people’s houses while they aren’t there are usually up to no good. A Freudian slip perhaps? would you care to expand on that statement? (-:

While it does appear to be overpriced, this is the pattern for new items which are a hit to the customers. The graphene enhanced stuff is relatively new and its price will go down after a while IMO. 
The question is this. Is it worth the asking price IF it actually works? 

"Just mix a little distilled water with the graphene dust."

That won't work, but you can mix a lot of graphene powder in some glycerin and that does work*. And it won't kill your toddler or your cat.

* I don't know if it works as well as 1260, but it does make an audible improvement. 

@earlflynn

Okay, you got me. Why do you still use them?

Everyone should. They keep your cables from getting dust bunnies.

@pauly cause I paid $10.00 for them. 

artemus5, when someone is clearly MDS please never ask them to expand on anything. Simply report the post. Select "Other" and explain off topic and/or abusive of another member.

Other than that, ignore them. Appreciate it. Thanks.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As I said it works just fine, I've used it for a long long time. I also mix Rislone or 3 in one IF I want it to stay pliable until it settles. That type of joining usually outlast the equipment and stops GREEN crap from growing between the two different pieces.

Sometimes I just dip the raw cable end in the dry dust, insert it  into the terminal and hammer weld it with a dye.

As for toddlers and cats, I'll work on that one.. BUT I can honestly say I haven't lost one yet.. The cat was 21 when she moved on to kitty heaven..

I’ve known plenty of tweaks that made a small and positive difference, but none that brought forth the usual cliches that stereo reviews are prone to (“veils were lifted …”, etc)and the the posted review skated so close to. Sounds like Perfect Path all over again to me to me. Their contact enhancer was definitely useful,so, enough. … I won’t be trying this product. I’m happy with my system, have been for a year or two, time to stop chasing the dragon. 

@kuelka8 time to stop chasing the dragon.

you know what that is a reference to?

I don’t understand why there isn’t a stronger following of the Mad Scientist graphene enhancer.
$50 buys a .5ml bottle with a 30 day money back guarantee.
It is in my system for a while now and offers a very nice improvement along the lines being described by the much more expensive spread users.
Is it as good as the 1260 or better? Completely unsure but it does a great job for a fraction of the cost.

According to Wikipedia, chasing the dragon refers to the elusive pursuit of the ultimate high

Don't even need to buy the stuff.

These folks will send you a free sample...


https://xlynxmaterials.com/request-graphane-form/

The formula was posted on the website..5% of all the following.  A couple I can't remember.
Gold silver platinum palladium
Rhodium iridium and graphene and the forgotten elements mixed in a conductive polymer..
Formula and all the safety pages were up for a few months .
Down now.. Tom

I have raw graphene powder it doesn't mix well with most fluids or other super fine particles it always floats and then sinks to the bottom
because the particle itself is so small. Mix mix mix...The carrier material for all the elements I listed is key but I have know idea what it is. I do know its different from what Tim Mrock used. Tom

@kudelka8 The silver will turn to gold. Yes you are right and the song is a reference to smoking heroine as the story goes.

Have been using it and it works great. well worth the price-component up grade that good.

My Asian brethren always referred to it as smoking opium.
Chasing the dragon usually doesn't kill you from an overdose of smoking. Smoking Heroin can..

Smoking opium got to be pretty popular south of the border still is from what I hear..

My grandmother was 99 when she passed she use laudanum in her morning tea once a day for the last 25 years of her life. The 2 bottles we threw away were from the 50s. Her doctor gave the proper size dipper I remember.. Had his office info on the little dipper.. 

To call it “goop” is actually being over complimentary.
