The NPS1260 doesn’t actually come off when the fitting is disconnected, etc. Many times, all that is necessary is to just use a small brush to redistribute it on the fitting.
To answer the question, no, I have not noticed a change when reapplied.

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.

If you have ever tried it.
Its not actually goop. It goes on smoothly and thinly.
ozzy |
Come on people, I can certainly tell when my system sound has improved.
ozzy |
To add, I know there has been tweaks that are hard to tell the effect. Many a time I have gone back and forth, is this better, or is that better? etc...
But, the 1260 is not one of those tweaks. You system will sound a lot better, you will know it, if you know your system. However it did take a few days to reach full effect. I will say this product is better than the yellow QSA fuses that are raved about.
I understand why you think it is important to do a a/b test. But to perform an a/b listening test to another person system that you are not familiar with, may or may not give you the conclusion you are expecting.
You need to try it in your own system. Don’t be so cheap! Sheesh!
The cost for the product is small compared to other things we invest in this hobby.
Believe me, I have never been shy about stating my opinion on audio products performance. That is; good, bad, waste of money etc. I have tried liquid graphene, Furutech nano liquid, liquid gold, pro gold, PPT paste etc. etc. This product is very good.

You seem to be highly skeptical and not willing to take a risk. You would probably be better off bypassing this product.
ozzy |
Gentleman,
All I can add is that this product is the real deal. I have treated all my fuses, and cables.
The first day after application the sound was better, but days, weeks later it is fantastic! Way better than any other tweak I have ever tried. It probably shouldn’t be called a tweak.
When I think of a tweak I think of the HF MC-.05s. Heck this substance is better than any HF cable, fuse, etc. I have owned.
The gains in sonic quality are well worth its cost. The blackness that is created allow for a very deep sound staging and dynamics. All the qualities that a audio enthusiast’s seek.
I’m not sure exactly what it consists of. My guess it is blocking RF/EMI etc. But I really don’t know.
It is too bad that one cannot buy a smaller "sampler" size for the "testers" and skeptics.
Highly recommended YMW-not V.

Looking back through my notes, I first started applying it on 6-6-21. The last application was on 7-16-21 on the yellow QSA fuse.
You should be able to detect improvement in a couple of days, but for whatever the reason it seems to improve with time.
ozzy |
Don't buy, or try it, you have made up your mind.
ozzy |
earlflynn,
If you were a customer, I would kick you out of the store for wasting my time...
orthomead,
Yes, it is true, I did not like the PPT paste. This stuff is different. Reading the review it talks about magnetism and such, so different approaches. I hope you have a chance to try it.
Pauly,
I did have it on the SR orange fuse before the QSA yellow. Never tried it on a el cheapo fuse. Never tried it on cheap cables for that matter. I’m sure it would improve on the cheapo sound though. However, in this hobby everything matters.
P.S. I don’t think Radio Shack exists anymore.
ozzy |
I am not trying to convince anyone. If you value sound quality and can spare the money, try it. If not don’t. Simple as that.
Is it a simple formula that is overpriced? Again, I don’t know. But the results speak for themselves to these old tired ears...
ozzy |
bpoletti, audioman58, johanvz, Pauly,
Right on!
ozzy |
Apply it to your speaker cables too!
It may take a few days for the full effect, but you will know, believe me.
ozzy |
rocray,
It improves even more with time. Great review and looking forward to your additional results.
ozzy |
I also purchased the product direct from Hi-Fidelity.
Wouldn't budge on price though...
ozzy |
kimurastanley,
We all think we have a balanced system. Some may cost more or less.
ozzy |
thyname,
1) I think George is the resident naysayer about tweaks, cables etc.
2) Yes, the stuff can be wiped off with Isopropyl alcohol.
ozzy |
I actually think the 1260 is better than adding a yellow QSA fuse.
Of course adding both adds even more realism, depth, enjoyment...
ozzy |
marc777,
Thanks for the kind words.
The 1260 takes about a week to show its stuff even true on the QSA fuses. At this time, I only have a SR orange fuse on my Sorcer X4, glory also recommended using the QSA fuse on it.
Darn looks like I will have to get another QSA for mine. What QSA fuse are you using?
I have a collage of different power cords that I think highlights the components they are powering. But, I did add the 1260 to all the prong ends.
ozzy |
rocray,
Congrats! Spooky product, but it works very well indeed.
BTW,
What ever happened to the OP?
ozzy |
sgordon1,
I removed the TC long before using the 1260.
marc777,
I coated the complete ends of the fuses including the end sides. Didn’t take much of the solution to do it. The power cords were coating about a 1/3 of the way down on all sides including ground.
So, you are saying to remove the top of the Sorcer? Interesting, you may have something there, I will try it once I get another QSA fuse.
ozzy |
marc777,
I did use the 1260 on a digital rca, just a little on the tip and I also applied it to a F connector for my Satellite connection. Didn't try it on any usb. The 1260 is conductive so it would be too hard to apply in such a close connection point. IMHO that is.
Someday somewhere down the line I do intend in applying it to my breakers at the box that power my audio.
ozzy |
theaudiotweak,
Are you buying the stuff by the gallon?
ozzy |
Sounds interesting. I must say that I bought the 3ml bottle and have done my whole system and I think I have more than 1/2 bottle left!
So it does go a long way.
ozzy |
By the way, where is the original poster? Wasn't he supposed to be testing the 1260?
ozzy |
oregonpapa,
I did like the PPT Omega mats and the cards, but the PPT paste was just to much and not right at least for my ears and system. I tried it for probably a month. Perhaps it had something to do with the power system, but I dunno. I really don't think the two products are similar.
The 1260 as described above by the audiotweak is right on. I hear no negatives.
ozzy |
marc777,
Thanks for the advise, makes sense.
I tried the 1260 first on a SR orange fuse and would say I got a good bump in sound quality. Then when I switched to the treated 1260 QSA yellow fuse a little bit more. It did seem to improve a lot more when I just used the 1260.
But, perhaps if I had tried just the QSA fuse first the improvement would have been the other way around.
The two products work well together.
ozzy |
So, a few minutes ago I just cleaned, and then treated my 3 dedicated lines (hot, neutral, ground) that are within my breaker box with the 1260...
ozzy |
I'll give it a couple of days.
ozzy |
It’s been a couple of days now after applying the 1260 to my breaker box wires that lead to my 3 dedicated lines. I think I can report some changes.
What I am hearing is a quieter sound. That is; a quieter sound that has less hash in the music that evidently made its way into my audio system.
I actually had to increase my volume setting by one notch.
This is even though, I have already treated all my power cords and other cables throughout.
In addition, I also lowered the bass settings on my (4) JL Audio F-113 subs from 45 to 40hz.
Interesting stuff...

What ever happened to the original poster who started the thread - earlflynn?
He seemed to be negative on this stuff, but said he was going to try it (somehow).
earlflynn, did you try it?
ozzy |
I hope there is still interest in this great product! To me, no downside.
Anyway, today I just applied the 1260 to my input tube pins on my mono block amps.
Perhaps next will be my output tubes.
ozzy |
68pete,
I will give it a few days before making comment. Usually the first improvement is more depth, along with hidden sounds buried in the mix becoming more noticeable.
But, actually to me, it seems the biggest noticeable improvement, (increased dynamics) takes place about a week after being applied.
Have you applied it to tube pins?
ozzy |
spatialking,
And your post is on topic?
ozzy |
Congrats!
I have found at about 5 days after application the dynamics improve, perhaps due to the lower noise floor.
Go for applying it to end cap fuses and digital signal conductor's.
Just keep your application to minimal, in other words don't slop it on, but control the amount applied.
ozzy |
tonywinga,
The 1260 appears to remain in sort of an oily state and does not really harden. At least so far with my experience.
My guess is we will move the connectors and then retreat with 1260 far before any possible hardening ever occurs.
You’ll see when you get it tomorrow. You’ll feel like a mad scientist applying a secret substance...LOL!
ozzy |
I think you will also be impressed when you do your power cords.
And, I think I have posted previously that I also applied the 1260 to the 3 conductor connections to my 3 dedicated circuits in my breaker box.
Surprisingly, that was a big improvement in making the music sound more natural and enjoyable.
ozzy |
uncleang,
The Stabilant 22 is a good product for keeping corrosion at bay, but the NPS 1260 actually improves the quality of the audio signal.
2 very different products.
ozzy |
unclaeng,
Sorry, but I don’t believe the Stabilant can improve connection by up to 6db. I have used it, it does nothing for sound quality compared to the NPS-1260.
cyclyingears,
Yours is the first negative comment on the NPS 1260 I have read anywhere. Any others? (other than price)
