QuickSilver GOLD

This outstanding product has received a few mentions here at Audiogon already, but it really deserves a thread of it's own IME.

It is a contact enhancement paste that delivers a positively HUGE performance boost. I am a beta tester and have enjoyed the benefit of this product since September without one glitch. I liked original formula QuickSilver, but this premium formulation is vastly superior to the original.

Cost is about $150, but one package will go a long, long way and it would be very feasible to split the cost between multiple enthusiasts.

I have done a lot of tweaking in my day, but if I were limited to just one, this would be it without question. I highly doubt there is an audiophile, the world over, that wouldn't fully appreciate the benefit this product delivers.

Take note too that their audio cables are pretty impressive as well.

Wellfed--figured I'd spare you the sports analogies! I probably should ask the company, it seems like a valid question for them.

I can empathize with Metralla, given how many pieces of equipment I'd have to disconnect, move out from the wall, lift (and those 90 pound amps are no fun), etc., I don't know how much I'd like to do something like this, no matter what the benefits.

The benefit is priceless to keep piling on the cliches. Start with your speaker connections to get a feel for what's in store and whether it would be worth your effort. I'm pretty sure QuickSilver GOLD carries a money back guaranty.

Rcprince, the difference is in the fact that the Quicksilver uses 8 micron cryoed silver and the new Gold has a small percentage of Gold mixed in as well.The new Gold is better in the way images are laid out in a more natural and dimensional way.The best place to hear a difference is by starting with the i/c's between your cd and preamp and then go from there.I hope you enjoy the experience and have fun painting- Take care Dennis

"The benefit is priceless to keep piling on the cliches."

I wholeheartedly agree. I have responded about QS Gold both here and at Audio Asylum. Definitely worth the price and the effort and is not just another over hyped accessory.

I've treated 4 different systems already with the one bottle and still have some left. For me it has given me more improvement than some major component upgrades, certainly more than than most cable or cartridge upgrades costing thousands of dollars more.

It is a no-brainer ... those with first hand experience can confirm this.

Best,

Jack

Yes, that is the place to hear the most profound improvement. Rcprince mentioned access issues as being problematic. My suggestion to treat his speaker cables was simply to allow for an easy audition.
