Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!

The 1260 showed up yesterday.  I applied some just to my speaker cable spades on the amplifier side- nowhere else at 3 PM.  I let the system warm up for an hour.  I didn’t expect to hear any changes but I did.  I immediately heard a bigger soundstage.  Voices and instruments seem to sound just a bit clearer too.  I put on a Chorale piece that I have listened to many times.  The walls of the Cathedral extended further out. Decays lasted longer.  All this in the late afternoon with the a/c running in the background.  I knew what to play next.  A few weeks ago I was playing Living on the Fault Line. I remember playing the record in my purpose built listening room in the 1990’s and how the reverb or studio echo was almost annoyingly apparent but a few weeks ago I noticed the echo was just barely perceptible.  My room in the 90’s was well isolated and quiet.  My room today is above ground and subject to a higher noise floor- especially during the day.  So I played this record again yesterday and the echo/reverb was more apparent.  This is tangible evidence to me that 1260 did something.  What blows me away is that I still have the other ends of the speaker wires to treat, all of the interconnects and power cords. I can’t imagine what it will sound like after all of that.  
Do not forget to not only treat PC connectors/plugs but also the connections between wire and plugs. The improvement after doing so was remarkable.
It is 11:15 AM I just now worked up the will power to shut down my stereo.  My whole morning is shot but I enjoyed it thoroughly.  I turned on the stereo very early this morning to let it warm up and then I planned to listen to some music for an hour or so in the quiet of the morning and head to the golf course.  Well, that was the plan. That changed to just one more song and then head to the gym.  Now it's time for lunch. 
The NPS-1260 did not add detail, it just made the detail more apparent.  It raised the clarity a notch and I think that is what makes the detail more noticeable.  For example, 1960's and 1970's studio recordings have either some reverb or studio echo.  I hear that more plainly now on many of those recordings.  Echo and decay last longer now.  It's gone from knowing it is there to being quite noticeable.  It's not bad because singers seem more palatable now- more intimate.  The music is also smoother- the best way for me to describe it.  I was careful to play songs at the same volume level as before but it is also easy to play them louder now.
I have only treated the digital side so far and it has been three days since I treated the interconnects on the DAC to Preamp to Amp and five days since treating the speaker spades.  I have not treated my analog rig yet or the power cords and dedicated circuits.  I have been captivated with my CDs and streaming.
It is a remarkable tweak.  One would need to be well acquainted with the sound of their system to fully realize the changes it makes.  It is more than subtle but I can't see it curing deficiencies in a stereo system.  It's like a polish that makes the mirror finish that much more crisp and clear.
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.
