NPS-1260 Connection fluid

I don’t doubt that contact enhancers like NPS-1260 can and do work, but I do wish they’d tone down the marketing baloney.

There is no "nanotechnology" at work here. They developed (or more than likely, "borrowed" what somebody else developed) a medium that suspends graphite, which greatly increases the contact area of electrical connections it is applied to.

More than likely NPS-1260 is used in some other area of electronics under another brand name and available for a fraction of the cost.

Or Rick has taken a similar product and added some special sauce.

I’m suspecting it’s something used in the aero space industry or perhaps the military. You can just imagine the extreme environment of space where temperatures swing by hundreds, if not thousands of degrees. A number of people must have been working hard and for many years at not letting the electrical connections fail. 

Audio is just not nearly important to warrant research of this kind. One of the venders probably has a friend in at JPL or where tax money is spent hand over fist on research.

Betting if we did mass spectrometry and atomic absorption we will find that Stabilant and this $599.00 venom are very similar.

Both are probably (or possibly) a graphite powder suspended in some glycerol based solution. If somebody is willing to give it a taste test, I suspect it would taste sweet and like a pencil.

Just saying but I am not spending $599 to find out. I do have an OA kit if any one wants to send a sample.

I'm not planning to spend the money either. If either works better than my home brewed contact enhancer I won't be too sad - I only spend $15 and 10 minutes of my time.

After treating only the ground terminals on my RCA connectors (analog cables only) I already feel there is a slight improvement.
