XtremeAV Quicksilver Gold alternative?


Is there anything out there that's actually comparable to the QSG? It'll be good if its cheaper too?

Thanks in advance,

They now sell it in a smaller amount to make it cost less, and Brian Kyle can send anyone the oil in case someone's older stock has dried a bit.

I think the problem is that some people use too much. Less is more, just a very fine dusting I think is best. Perhaps Ozzy used it like paint, which I could see causing a problem. I have used it on a number of items, and have found improvement. I am still too chicken to put it on Vacuum tube pins though.

As far as alternatives, I don;t know if anything like this is cheaper. All these type products use gold or silver particles, which are at high prices currently.
Thanks all for your perspectives. I have enjoyed the QSG from the beginning and it has performed at least as expected. However, it is now cost prohibitive so I am curiously looking for a cheaper alternative but realized there may not be anything cheaper and at least on par.

Ozzy: Thanks but I don't think I've observed the negatives as you have mentioned yet over the years. Of course they do harden over time and can gunk up if over applied.

Emailists: I actually tried it on tube pins and liked it a lot there and wouldn't worry about applying there again.

Randu, Emailists ,Kenk168, Perhaps I did put it on thicker than needed. I dont know, it is hard to put on less than a brush stroke.

My personal advise still is, dont let it stay on too long.
Clean it off every 6 months and reply if you like the effect.
Hi Ozzy,

Thanks for the suggestion. Are you using Pro Gold exclusively now or with some other signal/contact enhancer?

Thanks,

Kenobi
Kenk168, Actually, All I do now is clean the contacts about every 6 -12 months with a high grade Isopropal Alcohol, Deoxit, Pro gold and silver or copper polish.
Being EXTREMLY careful to leave NO residue on the connections by buffing.
