High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260

My Q45-T arrived today. I could not resist, so I applied to two power cords (DAC and Integrated Amp), and the XLR interconnects. That’s it for tonight.

I was not sure what to expect, if anything at all. But damn! This is incredible! From the first note, it’s almost startling. Like a different system. Not sure what to make of it. Music is kinda dialed in, similar to coming into focus when photographing something. There is a certain sparkle and bloom. There are some notes that sound as coming from somewhere too wide, vertically and horizontally, I literally looked around like “what is this, where is it coming from?”. Heck, I am kinda questioning whether things are supposed to sound this way. Whatever it is, I am liking in. I do have to figure this out, but there is most certainly something going on.

I will do the speaker cables, other power cords (power conditioner, subs, transport, server), and some peripherals over the weekend. This is way more interesting than I thought it would be.

Bugredmachine,

How did you apply it to your Fidelium cables?  Thanks.

Was wondering about that myself. Great question.

Mine arrived today, was not going to apply any of it until tomorrow but went a head and started it. My whole system is done in the 1260. So i applied it to part of the front end. From the wall to the Power Conditioner. Thats 5 power cords, 32 of the different MC 05s levels the 3 to 1 splinters used putting them on the same line about 13 of them . One MC6 Hemisphere power strip with MC1pros  plugged in to it.

The sound was very seductive clean and musical. I listen to 7 CD and SACDs. Will apply more tomorrow and finish hopefully on Saturday the complete system. The 1260 for me was a miracle in a small bottle. The Q45t is better and not by a little bit but by a lot. For me this did everything the 1260 did that was good but a lot more.

Fideliums - As you know with only one side exposed metal to work with I put my exposed side toward the object with the post. Not facing away from the object. I pasted it on fairly heavy using the applicator from the bottle all across the exposed metal. Then I opened up the post very wide so I did not scrap it off when slipping it back onto the post; more of an inward then push down toward the object motion. Then I used my other hand to hand tighten and you can feel the particles "cracking" under the pressure. I did not apply to the posts first as I am sure it would squish out to the unexposed side and be wasted.
