Snake oil??

Well, on March 8th, at the age of 64, I suffered a mild stroke. I have felt that things were returning to normal for the last few weeks. Now I’m not so sure. I just reviewed an email that came to me from Agon about a mysterious substance involving something called 3-Dimensional Enhancer, the NPS 1260. It claims to cure literally all my audio problems for the low price of $599. Is this some leftover April Fools thing or am I having some sort of stroke relapse?   I’m hoping that MC has some form to sage advice for this conundrum.

That ECI stuff is more of a true contact enhancer, nano carbon particles designed to reduce the micro-arcing that occurs when the signal jumps across microscopically small gaps in between conductors.



Surely someone has posted a video where they have captured these micro-arcs in a real world audio situation?

"...designed to reduce the micro-arcing that occurs when the signal jumps across microscopically small gaps in between conductors."

Micro-arcing of that sort may be beneficial to the sound, enhancing saltatory conduction. Hence, aforementioned contact enhancers may be detrimental to the sound.

In some translational theory, we could come back to my (r)evolutionary Biocables.

Pete,
That sounds great. Please keep updating us on what improvements (or non-improvements if applicable) you hear while the product continues to break in. I appreciate your input!


All the best

For  599.00 you get 3ml. I was told they have a smaller size1.5 ml for sale at half the price of a big one. Until some does a direct comparison to TC we will not know if it's as good or better or the same. But with what it's done to my system it is worth every cent.
