High Fidelity Cable replaces NPS 1260

Rixthetrick - NPS-Q45T is the name of the High Fidelity Cables contact enhancer which replaces the NPS-1260. 

There definitely needs to be a shootout then. 

Once the new kid on the block is marketed, this belongs on a thread of its own.

Please be aware Q45T is perhaps not best used as a contact enhancer on your expensive cables. You don’t even necessarily need to use it on the stereo. Just use it on the pins of a bunch of cheap double/multiple adapters, plugged into various wall sockets around the house. Just a very thin coat on the ac and earth pins. The best option is a multiple adapter strip, with all the outlets filled with dummy adapters (each treated with Q45T). No current needs to flow (but if there’s a switch it must be on).

(I'm assuming Q45T is what I think it is. I don't have any Q45T to check. But if it is black, oily and slightly gritty, then it is probably what I think. To be sure, rub a droplet between two fingers. If the grains start to disappear after about 30 seconds of rubbing, then it's what I think it is.)

"I made a joke with a friend and said it’s like getting a hickey from Scarlett Johansson, I’d never want it to go away."

Funny thing, an old man now but even back in my hormone racing youth, I never understood the appeal of the hickey thing. Always thought it was people just trying to brag and advertise. That being said, I was a Scarlett fan way back before she was this popular and yes, I agree with that sentiment. And yes, the Q45T is all that. And more.
