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.

Haven't read thru all the posts on this but have found a Graph
ene solution made by Mad Scientist Audio.  Might want to check out their site.  Large price difference.
^^^ A Ferrari is more expensive than a Kia. Is there a concrete reason for this?

Any interest I had in this product has dried up after reading the proponent's attacks on other posters. Quite a salesman.
^^^ jaybe ...

So, after being under constant attack in three different threads over three years, you decide that "Quite a salesman" doesn't have the right to defend himself? Should I remain nothing more than a whipping boy for certain member's infantile egos? Exactly how much crap should a "salesman" have to take before he/she begins to fight back? 

Your solution is to punish a product?  Too bad,  jaybe, because its a great product in spite of what the nay-saying bullies are trying to do here. If you don't buy, they win and achieve their objective ... which is to crush another businessman. They get their rocks off doing this stuff. Yes, its a great product ... and if you don't buy because of my defenses, you will be cutting off your nose to spite your face. 

 And by the way, in spite of what the bullies would  have you believe, if you don't buy, its no skin off of my nose at all. I make nothing off of the sales ... NOTHING. I'm just a fellow audiophile who has found a couple of products that has transformed his audio system and had the desire to share the information with other hobbyists just like you. 

Try to understand, I'm not talking about all those who post here. I'm talking about the main offenders. The rest of the offenders are just followers. I understand that. 

If you go through all three threads -- the two fuse threads and this one, you'll see the same voices spouting the same nonsense. In spite of the overwhelming evidence, they STILL slam after market fuses and the directional quality of those fuses. And now, they come into this thread with keyboards blazing in an effort to destroy this thread as well. Remember ... they haven't seen the product, haven't touched the product, haven't tried the product, and they haven't heard the product. And yet ... they know exactly how it looks, feels and sounds ... with only negative input spewing forth from them.

Would you say that the majority here has found the SR fuses to be a worthwhile upgrade? I would ... probably about 99% positive after tens of thousands of fuses have been sold to a satisfied international audience. The same will hold true with the "Constant Contact." The improvement is that obvious.
