Geoff, wtf has riled you up?
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
THE NEW TWEAK
Over the good part of this past year I’ve been beta testing a new tweak, the name of which is "Total Contact." Its a hi-bred graphene contact enhancer that is different from all other contact enhancers that have come and gone for one reason or another. I’m not new to these contact enhancers, having had quite a bit of experience with a product developed by the late Brian Kyle and his "Quick Silver" contact enhancer. The "Total Contact" is different ... a LOT different.
"Total Contact" is graphene based and is not a vibration control. It eliminates micro-arching between two contacts. Micro-arching, much like Micro-vibration smears the sound in our stereo systems. Its the type of distortion that we don’t know is there .... until we eliminate it. There is no break-in as we know it. The sound is improved right off the bat, but what you hear is only a smidgen of what’s to come.
I tested three generations of "TC," each of which was an improvement over the previous incarnation. The final mix was cryogenitically treated and made for a more effective, much smoother application. It comes in a large hypodermic needle type plunger containing 1.5 ml of product and includes a instructional DVD and an application brush.
The application should be applied with a very thin coat to all of your electrical connections .... from your cartridge pins to your power cords. I did my entire system, including the ends of my fuses.
Upon initial application, you will notice an improvement in clarity, correctness of tonal balance and a more overall organic sound. But ... that is just scratching the surface of what this magic paste does. As it cures, the improvements become more apparent. Much more!
There are two real break-through events that happen almost to the day with "Total Contact," one at four weeks and another at eight weeks . At four weeks, you’ll get a real jump in clarity and overall improvement. That’s only a taste though of what’s to come at eight weeks. At eight weeks your system’s focus will make a jump in SQ that is so real - its surreal.
After 40 years in the hobby, and a total tweak nut, I have never heard anything that does what this graphene paste does. The see-through clarity at eight weeks becomes simply amazing. The "paste" eventually cures into a kind of polymer plastic and it seems that the sound improves with each listening session. So, its important that you leave your contacts alone for the duration. If you’re the type of person that continually switches wires in and out, you’ll have to re paste until enough time has elapsed to get "the cure."
The only problem I had was with the first batch and that had to do with shorting out a tube pin in the line stage. Use the "TC" very sparingly on tube pins, if at all. I only had problems with the line stage tube pins. The Amp, CD Player and Phono Stage has had no tube pin problems at all.
Tim Mrock, one of our fellow A’goners, is the developer of the product. Its taken Tim 15 years and several patents to get it right. Tim has "pasted" every electrical contact he can find in his audio system, all of the switches in his circuit breaker box, every contact in his car ... and has used it in commercial applications such as hospital circuit breakers, surgical lights ... and other places where efficiency and long life of electrical components are deemed important.
This product is highly recommended to anyone who truly wants to get the most out of his/her audio systems. There’s enough product in each tube to do at least two audio systems as it just takes a very thin coat on each application to be effective. The last tube was enough to do my system twice and then a friend’s system this past weekend.

PS: There were a couple of other A’goner beta testers of this product as well. Hopefully, they will chime in here with their experiences for comparison. I "pasted" both of Steve Fleschler’s systems a few days ago, perhaps he will comment on his results too. We forgot to paste Steve’s power cords though, so there’s a lot more to be had from Steve’s two fantastic systems.

We are waiting for the first people to start posting about their fantastic Systems treated with Total Contact. I will probably wait to order for at least a year. Polymer? That is something that I have been using on the hulls of my Ocean Kayaks. Don’t think that I want to use Polymer on my ICs and Speaker connections. I am definitely waiting. At least 9 weeks before we hear from fazee. In the meantime; I will stick to 99% alcohol and pro gold. |
Addendum, audio vocabulary words starting with letters M through W, Mellow - Reduced high frequencies, not Edgy. Midrange (Mids) - The audio frequencies between about 250 Hz and 6000 Hz. Muddy - Not clear. Weak harmonics, smeared time response, I.M. distortion. Muffled - Sounds like it is covered with a blanket. Weak highs or weak upper mids. Musical (or musicality) - A sense of cohesion and subjective "rightness" in the sound. Nasal - Honky, a bump in the response around 600 Hz. Naturalness - Realism. Opaque - Unclear, lacking Transparency. Open - Sound which has height and "air", relates to clean upper midrange and treble. Pace - Often assoc. with rhythm, a strong sense of timing and beat. Piercing - Strident, hard on the ears, screechy. Having sharp, narrow peaks in the response around 3 to 10 kHz. PRaT - Pace, Rhythm and Timing Presence Range - The presence range between 4kHz and 6kHz is responsible for the clarity and definition of voices and instruments. Increasing this range can make the music seem closer to the listener. Reducing the 5kHz content makes the sound more distant and transparent. Presence - A sense that the instrument in present in the listening room. Synonyms are edge, punch, detail, closeness and clarity. Adequate or emphasized response around 5 kHz for most instruments, or around 2 to 5 kHz for kick drum and bass. Puffy - A bump in the response around 500 Hz. Punchy - Good reproduction of dynamics. Good transient response, with strong impact. Sometimes a bump around 5 kHz or 200 Hz. Range - The distance between the lowest and highest tones. Resolution (or Resolving) - See Definition Rich - See Full. Also, having euphonic distortion made of even order harmonics. Roll-off (Rolloff) - The gradual attenuation that occurs at the lower or upper frequency range of a driver, network, or system. The roll-off frequency is usually defined as the frequency where response is reduced by 3 dB. Round - High frequency rolloff or dip. Not edgy. Rhythm - The controlled movement of sounds in time. Saturation - The point at which a magnetic tape is fully magnetized and will accept no more magnetization. Seismic - Very low bass that you feel rather than hear. Shrill - Strident, Steely. Sibilant (or Sibilance) - "Essy", exaggerated "s" or "sh" sounds in vocals.

Also, too much highs on cymbals. Smeared - Lacking detail; poor transient response, too much leakage between microphones; poorly focused images. Smooth - Easy on the ears, not harsh. Flat frequency response, especially in the midrange. Lack of peaks and dips in the response. Snap - A system with good speed and transient response can deliver the immediacy or "snap" of live instruments. Soundstage - The area between two speakers that appears to the listener to be occupied by sonic images. Like a real stage, a soundstage should have width, depth, and height. Spacious - Conveying a sense of space, ambiance, or room around the instruments; stereo reverb; early reflections. Speed - A fast system with good pace gives the impression of being right on the money in its timing. Steely - Emphasized upper mids around 3 to 6 kHz. Peaky, non flat high frequency response. See Harsh, Edgy. Strident - See Harsh, Edgy. Sturdy - Solid, powerful, robust sound. Sub-Bass - The audio frequencies between about 20Hz and 80Hz. Sweet - Not strident or piercing. Delicate. Flat high frequency response, low distortion. Lack of peaks in the response. Highs are extended to 15 or 20 kHz, but they are not bumped up. Often used when referring to cymbals, percussion, strings, and sibilant sounds. Telephone Like - See Tinny. Texture - A perceptible pattern or structure in reproduced sound. Thick - A lack of articulation and clarity in the bass. Thin - Fundamentals are weak relative to harmonics; bass light. Tight - Good low frequency transient response and detail. Timbre - The tonal character of an instrument Timing - A sense of precision in tempo. Tinny - Narrowband, weak lows, peaky mids. The music sounds like it is coming through a telephone or tin can. Tone - The sound of definite pitch. Transient - The leading edge of a percussive sound. Good transient response makes the sound as a whole more live and realistic. Transparent - Easy to hear into the music, detailed, clear, not muddy. Wide flat frequency response, sharp time response, very low distortion and noise. A hear through quality that is akin to clarity and reveals all aspects of detail. Treble - The highest part of music and voice. See Highs. (Most often used when referring to the treble control on amplifiers). Tubby - Having low frequency resonances as if you're singing in a bathtub. See bloated. Upper Midrange (Upper Mids, High Mids) - The audio frequencies between 2 kHz and 6 kHz. Veiled - Like a silk veil is over the speakers. Slight noise or distortion or slightly weak high frequencies. Loss of detail due to limited transparency. Warm - Good bass, adequate low frequencies, adequate fundamentals relative to harmonics. Not thin. Also excessive bass or mid bass. Also, pleasantly spacious, with adequate reverberation at low frequencies. Also see Rich, Round. Warm highs means sweet highs. Wet - A reverberant sound, something with decay. Opposite of Dry. Weighty - Good low frequency response below about 50 Hz. A sense of substance and underpinning produced by deep, controlled bass. Suggesting an object of great weight or power, like a diesel locomotive. Woolly - Loose, ill-defined bass. |
For fazee or anyone else with a limited audio vocabulary, words starting with A through L. Feel free to use your own words to describe what you hear. Please disregard typos, they are not your humble scribe’s. 😛 Accurate - The music is unaltered by the recording or playback equipment. Ideally, to sound identical to the original music. Aggressive - Forward and bright sonic character. Airy - Spacious. Open. Instruments sound like they are surrounded by a large reflective space full of air. Good reproduction of high frequency reflections. High frequency response extends to 15 or 20 kHz. Ambience - Impression of an acoustic space, such as the performing hall in which a recording was made. Analytical - Highly detailed. Articulate - Intelligibility of voice(s) and instruments and the interactions between them. Attack - The leading edge of a note and the ability of a system to reproduce the attack transients in music. Attack (2) - The time taken for a musical note to reach its peak amplitude eg. notes will tend to sound more defined rather than blended with other notes. Balance - essentially tonal balance, the degree to which one aspect of the sonic spectrum is emphasized above the rest. Also channel balance, the relative level of the left and right stereo channels. Bass - The audio frequencies between about 60Hz and 250Hz. Bassy - Emphasized Bass. Blanketed - Weak highs, as if a blanket were put over the speakers. Bloated - Excessive mid bass around 250 Hz. Poorly damped low frequencies, low frequency resonances. See tubby. Blurred - Poor transient response. Vague stereo imaging not focused. Body - Fullness of sound, with particular emphasis on upper bass; opposite of Thin. Boomy - Excessive bass around 125 Hz. Poorly damped low frequencies or low frequency resonances. Boxy - Having resonances as if the music were enclosed in a box. Sometimes an emphasis around 250 to 500 Hz. Breathy - Audible breath sounds in woodwinds and reeds such as flute or sax. Good response in the upper mids or highs. Bright - A sound that emphasizes the upper midrange/lower treble. Harmonics are strong relative to fundamentals. Brilliance - The 6kHz to 16kHz range controls the brilliance and clarity of sounds. Too much emphasis in this range can produce sibilance on the vocals. Chesty - The vocalist sounds like their chest is too big. A bump in the low frequency response around 125 to 250 Hz. Clear - See Transparent. Closed - A closed-in sound lacking in openness, delicacy, air, and fine detail usually caused by Roll-off above 10kHz; in contrast to Open. Congested- Smeared, confused, muddy, and flat; lacking transparency. Coloured - Having timbres that are not true to life. Non flat response; peaks or dips. Cool- Moderately deficient in body and warmth, due to progressive attenuation of frequencies below about 150Hz. Crisp - Extended high frequency response, especially with cymbals. Dark - A tonal balance that tilts downwards with increasing frequency. Opposite of bright. Weak high frequencies. Decay - The fadeout of a note, it follows the attack. Definition (or resolution) - The ability of a component to reveal the subtle information that is fundamental to high fidelity sound. Delicate - High frequencies extending to 15 or 20 kHz without peaks. Depth - A sense of distance (near to far) of different instruments. Detail - The most delicate elements of the original sound and those which are the first to disappear with lesser equipment. Detailed - Easy to hear tiny details in the music; articulate. Adequate high frequency response, sharp transient response. Dry - Lack of reverberation or delay as produced by a damped environment. May comes across as fine grained and lean. Opposite of Wet. Dull - See Dark. Dynamic - The suggestion of energy and wide dynamic. Related to perceived speed as well as contrasts in volume both large and small. Edgy - Too much high frequency response. Trebly. Harmonics are too strong relative to the fundamentals. Distorted, having unwanted harmonics that add an edge or raspiness. Euphonic - An appealing form of distortion that generally enhances perceived fidelity, often ascribed to the harmonic elaborations of some valve amps. Fast - Good reproduction of rapid transients which increase the sense of realism and "snap". Fat - See Full and Warm. Or, spatially diffuse; a sound is panned to one channel, delayed, and then the delayed sound is panned to the other channel. Or, slightly distorted with analogue tape distortion or tube distortion. Focus - A strong, precise sense of image projection. Forward(ness) - Similar to an aggressive sound, a sense of image being projected in front of the speakers and of music being forced upon the listener. Compare "Laid-back". Full - Strong fundamentals relative to harmonics. Good low frequency response, not necessarily extended, but with adequate level around 100 to 300 Hz. Male voices are full around 125 Hz; female voices and violins are full around 250 Hz; sax is full around 250 to 400 Hz. Opposite of thin. Gentle - Opposite of edgy. The harmonics (of the highs and upper mids) are not exaggerated, or may even be weak. Grainy - A slightly raw, exposed sound which lacks finesse. Not liquid or fluid. Grip - A sense of control and sturdiness in the bass. Grungy - Lots of harmonic or I.M. (Intermodulation) distortion. Hard - Too much upper midrange, usually around 3 kHz. Or, good transient response, as if the sound is hitting you hard. Uncomfortable, forward, aggressive sound with a metallic tinge. Harsh - Grating, abrasive. Too much upper midrange. Peaks in the frequency response between 2 and 6 kHz. Or, excessive phase shift in a digital recorder’s low pass filter. Headstage - The perception of the Soundstage while listening to headphones. Highs - The audio frequencies above about 6000 Hz. High Midrange (High Mids, Upper Mids) - The audio frequencies between about 2kHz and 6kHz. Hollow - Recessed mids. Honky - Like cupping your hands around your mouth. A bump in the response around 500 to 700 Hz. Imaging - The sense that a voice or instrument is in a particular place in the room. Juicy - Sound that has joie de vivre, energy and life. Laid-back - Recessed, distant-sounding, having exaggerated depth, usually because of a dished midrange. Compare "Forward". Liquid - Textureless sound. Low Level Detail - The quietest sounds in a recording. Low Midrange (Low Mids) - The audio frequencies between about 250Hz and 2000Hz. Lush - Very Rich/Full. Lush (2) - A "lush" sound has a sense of warmth and fullness. Notes are more authoritative and have a sense of life about them. It is a sound free of any sibilance or brightness. It does not mean colored, however. It is an open and inviting sound enveloping the listener into its soundstage. (source: unkown headfier) |
@tommylion I have been following your thread on the gutwire, which is excellent. Next on my project list. I am going to roll my own ground cables, and put together my own drain box. Like yourself, I was surprised at how important grounding points are. Last spring I put my new product on just the clamps on my grounding rods. It was amazing how those 3 points made such a huge impact. |
Can I mention Luddites? How about Philistines? Anarchists? Norwegians? Somehow establishing rules for a specific topic to limit questioning to No Negative Nancies or Norberts or Newtonians and establishing some form of Mirth Control seems absolutely political, and there lies a paradox. If I was selected to test and then proceeded to shamelessly promote a product with claims of astonishing sonic benefits, I simply wouldn't be surprised that others may question the efficacy of the product, not to mention my motivation to hustle the item in a forum. It's human nature after all. Is "human" allowed? |
^^^ fazee ... Tim told me that he has your order. Your's is the first one. More than likely, it will be in the mail today ... tomorrow at the latest. They are expecting two feet of snow, but Tim is only one block away from the post office. I know you'll be surprised at how good it is. Please post your results here. Thanks ... Frank |
I just recently added two Gutwire Ultimate Ground Cables to my system. The profound improvements they make have convinced me that some method of dealing with ground noise is essential to getting the very best out of your system. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/gutwire-ultimate-grounding-cable#1507231 ...now back to the regularly scheduled program. |
And speaking of movies, I’d like to share one of the best movies I’ve ever seen. Its titled "The Lives of Other’s." Its in German with very easy to read English subtitles. Available now on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/itm/The-Lives-of-Others-Blu-ray-Disc-2007-BRAND-NEW-SEALED/331297692033?epid=61... Frank |
To all ... Its here! Audiogon just posted the Total Contact for sale. Here’s the link: https://www.audiogon.com/listings/listening-room-electrical-contact-enhancer-2018-01-17-systems Have fun guyz. Frank |
Geoff sez: "Besides, did someone die and make you moderator?" Nope. Just trying to keep things civil in this one thread. That's about it. Besides Geoff, most folks who want to debate politics have a political acumen about as deep as the vinyl flooring in my kitchen. Any political discussions would quickly sink to a low of name calling. Don't know about you Geoff, but I'm here to have fun and to improve my audio system, not to make enemies. Frank PS: I'm trying to remember my first date as a teenager. When was I a teenager? Was I ever a teenager? |
crazyeddy sez: "Ok, so the extended "roll out" date of the 15th has now past. Still nothing on Google? What gives? at the risk of getting bitten in these shark infested waters, it's starting to sound like Tru Fi. All will be revealed..................... " Seven posts above yours I said this: " Good news! I just got off of the phone with Tim Mrock. The delay was with one of the suppliers being late in delivery. Tim will be up all night tonight preparing the packaging for a launch tomorrow. So ... by the time tomorrow morning comes the product will be available through Audiogon. That’s the plan. Let’s hope there’s no more snafus." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The first supplier of the "containers" that will hold the product sent defective containers. A new supplier had to be found. The new ones were supposed to arrive Saturday. They didn't show up in the mail (25 below zero with wind chill). That left Sunday (no mail delivery) and yesterday, a national holiday (no mail delivery). The containers arrived today in the mail. Tim will spend the day, and all night tonight, filling the containers so the product can be offered for sale here on Audiogon tomorrow morning. Simple as that. Frank |

Politics? A joke about Republicans is politics? Some of my best friends have been Republicans, although certainly not in recent years. Hmmm…deeperthought…I was addressing wesheadly with a warning about engaging relatively thin skinned proponents of magic tweaks in general, as I really don't have any questions about the goo since, clearly, it's value is unquestionable if only as a platform for satire. |

dbager ... If you continually swap your wires around, you will eventually wear the paste off. You WILL get an initial improvement in SQ with the fresh pasting, but the best would happen if you would be able to just let it cure over the 4 and 8 week period. So to answer your question ... yes, it would still be worthwhile for you to use TC in order to get the initial SQ improvement. In fact, I'd venture to say that once you've heard your system freshly pasted, you won't want to listen without it. I know I certainly won't go back. Read all of Steve Fleschler’s posts. All of his results reported here so far are the results of a freshly pasted system. Frank |
westheadley .. 1. I’ll wait for Tim Mrock to step in to explain micro arcing. 2. This has been covered several times during this thread. Again, I respectfully suggest that you read the thread from page one, to here. On initial application, there is a definite improvement in SQ, so it will be enjoyed at that time. At the four week period, there is an increase in clarity. At the eight week juncture there is a HUGE jump in clarity ... a see-through quality that really has to be heard to be believed. I’ve heard nothing like it in over 40 years in the hobby. The more connections you paste, the better it gets. Tim tells me that he has pasted over 1000 connections in his system, home and in his car. One of the big improvements is treating your circuit breakers, which I have not done yet. I’ll hire an electrician for the job. I’ll upgrade the circuit box at that time also. 3. You can see my electronics and room by double clicking on my icon, then double clicking on the picture. All ARC Reference: Ref-3, Ref-75se, PH-8, CD-7se ... all tubes. Von Gaylord "Legend" IC’s, SR level III power cords, and Von Gaylord "Legend" speaker cables - bi-wired. Legacy Signature III speakers. Well Tempered TT highly modified. Origin Live TT belt, Cardas copper tonearm wire and an Audio Tecnica ART-9 cartridge. Room is well treated with Shatki Holograms (4), SR HFT’s (10), Four Tube Traps. Micro-vibrations have been carefully attended to with platforms, custom equipment rack ... and all of the usual suspects. While by some standards, what I have is a modest system. With all of the tweaks I’ve experimented with over the years, the system has become highly resolving. I can hear if a tweak is worthwhile or not almost immediately. Read my comments re: Herbie’s tube dampeners (excellent), and then conversely, Hebie’s Black Hole CD mat (ineffective in my system). Try to read the entire thread ... most of your questions will be answered there. Frank |
