Has anyone purchased in Canada from Rick’s Canadian website since HFC closed? Is he still shipping this product?
Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables
My friend bought a bit what seems a bit pricy, but I split the cost ,and without question this very special blend is far more powerful then I thought ,I expected a small change but just letting it play for several days a profound improvement, I took two pair of wire wire eclipse cables one treated one not , , as well as fuses
and then removed , my brother changed them not mentioning which ones ,only 1 sets time needed for integrated amp
a sizable increase in resolution and image depth , soundstage too was wider as well as deeper .I
waited a couple hours in between , the fuses synergistic orange , they too were very much improved .
I am going to let them seat in another 100 Hours at least .I still have not done the power cord, or speaker cables yet . I am very impressed. I was very much a skeptic, since I already have been using
stabilant 22 which I thought was respectable increase in fidelity . Before making any type of opinion
it’s well worth trying ,I was told in a week they are coming out with 1/2 size bottles for $349 which will do several audio systems, a light application goes a long way and IMO a noticeable increase in fidelity
for minimal cost.

@highstream Rick fled the country back to Canada. He is manufacturing in Canada now. Also the Q45t is available from The Cable Company. Tried it and I am not a believer. |
millercarbon "Eventually maybe someone else will figure out one reason Synergistic Fuses and AC outlets are so good, they all have a little dab of the same gray looking goop. Huh. Imagine that". So it is possible that if someone apply an other brand of contact enhancer, it probably get worst because he would remove the 1260 HF ? |
Wow, it sounds like the Nps 1260 is a hit, I just might try this. But what I heard Rick say was to do it alittle at a time. Not all at once if I do this I will try 1 cable at a time to hear the difference in sound. I know it will take longer settling in time but until the world ends. Ive got the time. 🎶 |
glory, Check out this review update: NPS 1260 3D Enhancer Solution - Positive Feedback (positive-feedback.com) ozzy |
Thank you everyone who stayed on topic and described there experiences. I totally agree with all of the glowing reports. I thought it was crazy expensive until I tried it. I have used lots of contact enhancers Including stabilant 22. Nothing I've tried in decades comes even close to NPS 1620. I follower the instruction video by Rick on HFC sight and applies as little as possible. eventually put it on over 200 contacts and, in time, it made a quantum improvement on every aspect of musical reproduction. much more "real" sounding. $600 compared to an $80,000 system is insignificant. especially considering it raised my sound quality by 100%. and I only used 1/4 of the bottle. |
I coated my interconnects power cables fuses and all of my speaker cables jumper wires in my home theater system two months ago. I still remember coming upstairs from treating my system and turning it on to a news station that I regularly watch. For the first time I could hear the size of the room the anchor was speaking in. Same thing happened to me later on that night watching a movie with Kevin Costner stirring his coffee I could hear the inside of the cup clinking against with a spoon. I’ve experienced all the qualities that everybody has also mentioned and let go of the rest that I had left in my bottle to two other people one being installer who also had great results. Like everyone else it’s been A substantial upgrade to my system. Jim |
millercarbon, I had the PPT paste and was not impressed as you and many have been. To me, it seemed to darken the high frequencies. That was my concern about the 1260. But, I was surprised and relived that this product did not. In fact the highs seem to be clearer and shimmer more. The formulas may be slightly similar but the outcome is different. ozzy |

If you have the kind with steel tabs screwed into copper bus bars, remove all the tabs and coat the entire bus bar. Then replace the tabs and treat them. Then do the neutral and ground bus bars. Best is to remove all the wires, coat the ends, coat the terminals, and then put it all back together. Lotta work, but wow! Imagine what you heard from the bits in your system, times about 10. That's being conservative. That's also assuming the same active ingredients as the stuff it is copying, which seems to be the case. I did all that in my panel, and more. A lot more. |
Well I bought the full bottle. On my audio system, I only have one interconnect, 4 speaker cables. 3 Niagara power conditioners and about a 6 power cords. I applied it to both ends in most cases. I just applied it to my home theater power cords, and I still have 3/4+ of it left! I doubt that I will ever apply it to my tube pins, but I’m still going to tackle the breaker box yet! ozzy |
Tim, The kit has a number of tools of different sizes and and dimensions. On my transport and Dac for me I found it easier and safer to apply the product to the female recess rather than to the pin itself. May depend on your eyesight and dexterity..I will be working on the internals next of my mono amps. I purchased the smaller dose. Hope I have enough. This Product makes for more and better sound.

I have almost 80 interconnect center pins, 18 9-pin Tubes, and 14 Power Cords in my system. Do you people think I can do all that with a half bottle? Also, I was thinking I would lightly coat the male pins only, and before the 1260 dries, insert the pins to have the 1260 make contact with the female connectors. (The instructional video doesn’t mention how long to wait between application and insertion). Thanks, Tim |
It’s not just Graphene there is more then that that is not disclosed . High Fidelity cables spent over a year in R&D in this formula I am very please I used everything available including Furutech nano fluid, Caig pro gold stabilant22 and several others once you put it on Everything it takes a solid month to fully settle in .it’s been 3 months now ,my system has not sounded better, I even removed it from the interconnects ,and it was very apparent. Much better with the1260 fluid. |
My opinion matters because I have experience with this product on only 4 connections out of potentially hundreds in my system. I use several of the same mineral components in musical devices I have designed and market for cello violin and bass. Nos 1260 is an Elixir for the transmission of music into the sound space. Tom |
@ozzy I have removed the post re asking if you could taste the solution as it does seem that it is toxic. My bad. That was wrong on my part. Apologies to you. Sadly it seems to have drawn the ire of the third graders on the forum too ... SMH Given the possible options for conductive solutions, the contact enhancer is possibly extremely toxic. I’m sure you are a person who is careful, but please consider adequately warning those who has access to your components and may swap cables. Please note, you will probably not be able to adequately cleanse any female terminals that you have treated, and some of the solution will inevitably spread to every terminal plugged into it henceforth. Not something you'd want a curious toddler to put in their mouths. So when you trade in a component, or send in for repair, best you disclose it has been treated with 1260 |
