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.

Anybody with a little TC left after use I will purchase. I only need a teeny tiny smidgen. I have very few connections, you know, what with the battery powered portable system. No power cords, no ICs, blah blah. The batteries, that’s about it. Yes, I know the batteries need to be replaced before the stuff has broken in. 😃 I also need a teeny tiny bit of TC for my new LG video system power cords. I suppose I could scrape some Graphene off my Head Graphene tennis racket....😳
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 paste with TC the more improvement will be realized. I did my entire system all at once, but it would be interesting to hear your progress as each portion is pasted. Like spade connectors first, then evaluate. IC's next, then evaluate. PC's after that, then evaluate. Fuse ends, then evaluate. Etc, etc, etc ... 

Please post your results here. Thanks ...

PS: I was up until 2am this morning listening to my stereo system. Steve Fleschler tells me he's doing the same. Steve has hit the four-week point with about half of his treatment. The other half is freshly applied. Hard to pull yourself away from the music once that four-week point is reached. 
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 really good. Picture quality is improved also. Russian car crashes have more impact. :-)
