Contact -enhancer, fuses - NOS 1260 High fidelity audio cables

My friend bought a  bit what seems a bit pricy, but I split the cost ,and without question this very special blend is far more powerful then I thought ,I expected a small change but just letting it play for several days a profound improvement, I took two pair of wire wire eclipse cables one treated one not , , as well as fuses 
and then removed , my brother changed them not mentioning which ones ,only 1 sets time needed for integrated amp 
a sizable increase in resolution and image depth , soundstage too was wider as well as deeper .I 
waited a couple hours in between , the fuses synergistic orange , they too were very much improved .
I am going to let them seat  in another 100 Hours at least .I still have not done the power cord, or speaker cables yet . I am very impressed. I was very much a skeptic, since I already have been using 
stabilant 22 which I thought was respectable increase in fidelity . Before making any type of opinion 
it’s well worth trying ,I was told in a week they are coming out with 1/2 size bottles for $349 which will do several audio systems, a light application goes a long way and IMO a noticeable increase in fidelity 
for minimal cost.

First impression: there does seem to be a better more relaxed sound. And yet, there is a better (refined) upper frequency with better articulation.

Not hearing anything negative with my first few applications, actually it sounded pretty good.

Based on this, I just finished coating all the power, interconnects, speaker cables and a couple of fuses for my amps.

So, I’ll see what more time does to the sound.

Guys,

Thanks for posting your impressions, going to order some to try on my cables and ALL of my tube pins : ) Maybe wait a few more days to see if it goes on sale.

I have used Stabilant 22 for years and it does make a positive difference. Sold on Amazon.

"Pauly,
I don’t doubt that contact enhancers like NPS-1260 can and do work, but I do wish they’d tone down the marketing baloney.

There is no "nanotechnology" at work here. They developed (or more than likely, "borrowed" what somebody else developed) a medium that suspends graphite, which greatly increases the contact area of electrical connections it is applied to.

More than likely NPS-1260 is used in some other area of electronics under another brand name and available for a fraction of the cost."

Pauly, rh67,
I also have used Stabilant 22 for years. Connections coated with it still shows no corrosion.

The best I can answer is the proof is in the sound. Does it improve the sound quality? At this point for me it does. $599 for a bottle is pretty steep but compared to fuses, cables, footers etc. it is pretty remarkable and worth it to me.
I just hope it works long term without mucking up and I am not sure how to store the unused portion.

I went ahead and purchased the Furutech Nano at $159 per bottle to get my 'feet wet" with nano enhancer. I find that is does positively impact SQ in both of my systems. audioman58 stated earlier in this thread that he found the 1260 to be even better so I will likely give it a try down the road; but I am pleased with the Furutech at the moment.
