Quicksilver Contact Enhancer

Hi any body tryed the above, I bought the one from Xreme AV LLC, cant say that I am happy so far I know they say to be patient and wait 21 days Iam going on 5 days, It has seem to increase the volume of the sound and it has made everything sound bright at decent volume, I had my system to a point where I was realy happy, but we always wont more and the theory makes sense and I hope I will stick it out, just interested if any body else been through the same thing and was the outcome worth the wait? or do I wipe it off and send it back!they say there never had a return!
Thanks Kel

I also use the Q.S Gold and found it to be mandatory in my system ( without it I can hear a loss of resolution and a slight harshness to the sound).To say that QS is causing a brightness is misleading yourself because you are hearing your system for the first time without the addition of the micro-arcing between the contact points! I have used the QS on my HDMI DVD cables ( 3-d images that you could touch) to a startling result and on my Mercedes ignition cap and plugs ( smoother power and great mileage).I have further treated all my power supply cables inside my Wadias and fuses and power outlets and circuit breakers.It really does take 3 weeks to settle in and is well worth the wait time!!Hope this helps Dennis

Tvad,
have you ever had a bad haircut that showed features of your face that you didn't like? One may believe whatever one wants, but shooting the hair dresser is a rather drastic fix for the problem that was uncovered!I have many friends that use QS with great audible sucess and a Manufacturer and Modder as well.I likey Mikey !! And he hates everything !!Hope this helps Dennis

I have used it on the tube pins with superb effect and can say that you haven't heard your tube amp yet!!When you apply it just do the top 1/3 or 1/2 of the pin, this will not allow migration of the QS into the tube base.The images and dynamics will become very very dimensional.I just did my electrical outlets and pulled my breaker box wires and circuit breaker.I was able to completely disconnect power from my box and would only do this if one can shut down the electricity!!! You should talk to an electrician for the best info ( it is simple but has some real danger if done poorly).Hope this Helps Dennis

Wow!
Smoffatt, I heard a huge improvement and used a brass brush to clean my tubes with no ill effect.As far as tubes loosening,again I was fine with the tightness of the pins and the sound.Just goes to show that implementation is critical as well as a listening.I still think that the difference is well worth the effort for a tube amp and the differences are not subtle ( cleaning your tube pins isn't necessary because of the elimination of the arcing that use to take place between the tube and socket).For those willing to invest time and forethought, I highly recommend QSG.Hope this helps Dennis
