Cable Goop Review George is going to freak!!

When I used nps 1260 it took a day to sound great and it would sound great for about 2 days then slowly deteriorate with added noise and sibilance until a week later it sounds meh. Cleaned everything and did it twice, same result. Could sound or microvibrations cause the nps 1260 give way so there is a total metal to metal contact with no help from nps? |
Elixir 1260 has 8 distinct elements 7 which are conductive metals in nano sized forms. The final element is graphene also as a nano particle all of these are mixed in a conductive polymer suspension. The suspended nano particulates when applied to connections are designed to fill in the gaps and pores of the primary applied outer layer surface enhancing the conductivity. Tom |
Stabilant 22 was formulated by Mike Wright of Dayton Wright audio small hall of fame. Electrostatic speaker pioneer and maker of conventional time and phase coherent speakers. He used bag or bags of SF6 gas in side the enclosures to emulate a much larger box..unconventional and far out. Wish I had met him. Tom |
Do you have something left over? I would like to buy it from you. Thank you cyclingears1 posts10-05-2021 11:48amWhen I used nps 1260 it took a day to sound great and it would sound great for about 2 days then slowly deteriorate with added noise and sibilance until a week later it sounds meh. |
I treated the analog side of my system. I have been progressively treating the connections in my stereo system with the NPS-1260. It is a very tiny bottle but seems to go a long way. I treated the pins of the phono cartridge, the DIN connector and RCA's of my phono cable. I immediately noted increased clarity and space in the sound stage. Then after 5 days I treated the two circuit breakers and receptacles of my dedicated power circuits. I didn't expect much from that but to my surprise the bass was clearer and tighter. I played my Stanley Clark CD which has gobs of bass. I know the first track very well because I have been using that track for months to improve my room setup for bass response. I heard improvement in the bass playing that CD. So in a couple of weeks I will play that track again to look for any changes. Overall, this stuff does some good. The most noticeable changes to me were the first application to the speaker cables on the amp side, then the phono cables and then the power lines. Adding the AQ Niagara Power Conditioner had a much bigger impact, of course. The NPS-1260 could be akin to changing out cables with the exception of the 20 amp circuits and the phono cartridge. I'm planning to treat the pins on all of my vacuum tubes next. It's a lot of work- wah wah... |
ozzy and boxer12- I believe your experiences are accurate. Thank you for the input! According to an email I received from High Fidelity Cables in September " We move cables around often and find that a re-application is not always necessary. In fact, it is maybe every 3rd or 4th disconnection that we will treat again. We recommend evaluating the remaining visible NPS-1260 and re-applying if it shows to be diminished". My experience is that I need to reapply after several disconnects as I move equipment in and out of systems. I do that much more frequently than most others, as I evaluate pieces of equipment I acquire over time. For example, yesterday I heard a bit of edge in a track I am very familiar with- a xylophone sounded a little harsh. I inspected the RCA and speaker cables, and reapplied a VERY THIN re-coat to them- harshness gone! In fact, after brushing off excess as directed, I didn't need to dip the brush into the solution again to sufficiently cover the 2 ends of RCA and 4 banana plugs. The re-coat, I suspect, was part new NPS 1260 and part redistribution of existing NPS 1260. So- for me, assessing the need to re apply is a combination of knowing how many times I've disconnected things, noting any changes to sound and visual inspection.
