High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260

Quick update on Q45T today: either my ears got used to it, or a reality, but I no longer feel my system sound any “lean”. On the contrary…

The separation, dynamics, bloom, soundstage extension, are all positive, and in spades.

This is certainly a great purchase, and I don’t regret my $350 one beat.

I agree with my system also the lean is gone. All the qualities that you mention are also in spades. I own an appliance repair company and have been using 1260 for almost a year now. Mostly on wire terminals that are burned off the heating elements in dryers. Spade connector on the heating element after cleaning off all the carbon on them leaving 1/3 the size. I’ve usually cut in a new terminal on the power wire and connect into what was left on the element terminal without much success. It has almost been a year now on those repairs and still they are going without taking out the new wire terminal.  Saving my customers lots of money and less work for me.

Thyname, I agree +1, Iam 80 % done on all my 3 systems.Every system level of musicality is way beyond I can Ask for.Applying q45 to all my wires I felt like they were replaced by a more expensive one, As good as my Tyr Nordost ic, HF ct 2 ic , Tellurium ic, phono Cables, all have sounds more Dynamics, fast, a lot more like bass and slam.. After Iam 80 % done I felt I have spend more than 5k on Cables.Iam happy I discover the q45.NASAMAN state he felt like he upgraded 5 to 10k amp.I thought he exaggerates but yes same experience here.

Posted to High Fidelity Cables website- appreciate any input/opinion for forum members:

"Own and use NPS-1260. Considering NPS-Q45T, but have a few questions: The Q45T description says "not to disturb the connection"- I was told that 1260 applied connections could be removed and re-seated as long as there was visual evidence of proper 1260 coverage. Is Q45T different in that regard? This is relevant as I rotate gear in my system occasionally. Second- should all 1260 be removed prior to Q45T application? This seems difficult, if not impossible, because of solution residue, such as in female connector where 1260 was applied to the male connector. It was suggested that full benefit of 1260 might take up to 6 weeks- is that the same time frame for the Q45T? Finally, will there be videos showing proper application of the new formula? Thanks!"

I cannot help much here @crummwoody as I never had 1260 (Just did the NPS-Q45T recently), but my guess is the application videos should be identical.
