I predict that "slaw" will become one of the most positive advocates of Total Contact. Who here likes chamber music? I was listening to this with my morning coffee. With the entire system now pasted with the latest incarnation of TC, the musicians...

^^^ Thank you Joe. Good advice to all. The product is easily removed at any stage with alcohol and a cotton swab or a Q-tip. I was listening to a few of my lesser played Harmonia Mundi recordings early this morning. I've really never been able to ...

1.  Over the years I've used Deoxit to clean connectors, and then coated them with Pro Gold. Not relevant at all. Total Contact is in a different league and serves a different purpose.2.  Tweak? I think that product has pretty well been debunked i...

Side note:For those with headphone systems ... TC can be used on the headphone plugs to good effect. I’ve done my headphones (Grado RS-1’s) , the little Audio Engine DAC, the connection to the computer screen and the computer’s PC. Spotify sounds ...

gpgr4blu ...You'll have it soon. Tim is trying to mail out the same day he receives the order. He's only a block away from the post office. The spade connections are a good place to start .... audible improvement too. The more connections you past...
