Another new sound system

[Outside_Lookin_in]

He's telling the truth about how good the enhancer is. It's like the icing on the cake.

There weren't a lot of places I could use the NCE in the Kii system, because you can't use it on data cables as it would cause a short. The Kii speakers have no speaker cables, or interconnects. They only have power and data cables.

Imagine what this stuff could do internally, on every unsoldered contact inside an amp or speaker....

I'm assuming that NCE is merely Nuclear paint with the excipients removed?

Yes, It's oil based instead of PVA. Otherwise it's the same.

It's astounding. It appears to enhance the sound no matter where you use it. On the toaster, on the frig, on lamps...obviously on the stereo. This is not confirmed, because I also created 2 large Batwing sheets today, and they are still drying on the balcony. It could be them doing it...but I don't think so. The enhancement is different from what I expect from sheets.

 

[bosshoss]

Totally confirmed -
The NCE works wonders anywhere in the house, on the pins of any appliance that is plugged into any AC socket.
(For wall plates with a switch, it should be turned on. If there's no switch, that's good because it's already on).

I am in the process of treating every electrical appliance in the house. Frig, washing machine, dishwasher, toaster, inkjet printer, air conditioner, air purifier, water heater...etc. etc.

I can't wait to play garage punk on my toaster!

I just tried an idea which worked beautifully :

Get an international AC traveller's converter plug (or a double adapter would do), and cover it with Batwing. Paint the 3 (or 2) conducting pins with NCE. Plug it into the socket next to your stereo AC outlet (or into a multiway adapter also used by your system). Improvement = 8Nb (Nuclear bricks).

I think NCE is capable of an improvement level which potentially will exceed both Nuclear and Batwing. But it's a slightly different flavor - and I don't know how if would compare if no Nuclear or Batwing was installed. In other words, which one would sound best by itself? I don't know...at this moment I think it might be NCE.

I have now tried 3 AC double adapters treated with Batwing/NCE. Each one elevated the sound in a spectacular way. I think I will buy some more, and have an adapter in every unused socket. You don't need an appliance.

It's 4:30 PM here, and I'm hearing realism I've never heard before, not even at midnight.

I would treat the inside of the double adapter, making sure I bought one which could be opened. Today I was thinking of the possible benefit of using a power board between the power outlet and the stereo plugs: a power board which has been treated internally and externally with nuclear or Batwing product. Theoretically every extension diminishes electricity quality and accordingly vitiates the sound, but if said extension is treated, it may improve the sound instead.

 

[bosshoss]

You know, all that is needed is the two pins. Even one of those "baby safety" plastic dummy plugs works if the pins are painted. I've already tried it, and it does work. But it would work even better if the flat part of the dummy plug was painted with Nuclear STB paint (PVA based, so it dries). It would have to be the outside of the flat part, otherwise the pins would be connected via STB and short out.

There are lots of those on the market. Obviously not treated with STB, but they have various other treatments, graphene etc. The Synergistic Research unit is an example. I have one on hand, I could open it up and treat the inside.

Also Daniel - your idea from a while ago may be a good one - to somehow inject NCE into the space between the bare wire and the insulation. My theory was it doesn't need to touch the metal, but that theory has been blown out of the water now.

I don't think I would try it on a power cable, but a speaker cable or interconnect would be reasonably safe to try.

Perfectly safe on any power cable below 24,000 volts!

REPORT FROM BUNKER (21 - 22 March 2022)

Last night was an evening of STB and NCE accoutrementation. Before I recount the auditions, however, it is incumbent upon me to state that the sessions began at 9pm, and continued until 2am, and that from 9pm to midnight there is a steady improvement in the quality of power supply, which phenomenon would have interfered with the assessment of said accoutrements. Additionally, Mark had already made many accoutrements since my last visit; therefore much of what I heard will have been attributable to that.

With the initial baseline-setting audition, the sound stage was a sphere with occupied the space between the speakers (on the previous visit, it had been a circle). We treated a recalcitrant $2.50 double adapter with a batch of newly formulated NCE. We plugged it into an empty double powerpoint adjacent to the Kii outlet. Immediately hearing an improvement, we treated its even more belligerent cousin, and plugged it into the same powerpoint. Sound stage had broken loose from its moorings and now was very dependent on the recording being listened to, but on the better tracks it filled the entire room, from front to back, side to side and floor to ceiling. With some tracks the sound stage tried to escape the confines of the walls, but was kept in check by the left brain.

Normally when listening to recorded music on a hi-fi, one can concentrate on one instrument or another to fully appreciate - or sometimes to even just notice - it, but toward the end of the evening, every instrument including the vocal was equally noticeable. Every aspect was given full prominence simultaneously. Concentrating on one aspect of the musical mix was now obsolete. Imaging was precise, focused, and realistic. The singer was present and intimate - perhaps unwisely intimate on some recordings.

The larger than life imaging I have experienced in previous sessions - 12" diameter guitar strings or the entire floor being a bass - was gone, having been replaced with much more realistic imagery. Some may miss the surrealism of the former, but the new sound is at least equally extended, more focused, more detailed, more accurate and better balanced.

(After the double adaptor treatments, we replaced some of the single layer Nuclear power cable wrapping with double wrapping of Batwing. Those modifications contributed to the improved sound described above.)

I'll just add that the Batwing (tape) and NCE (contact enhancer) are both amazing. They sound great as soon as they are applied, and get better over the next 48 hours. The NCE especially seems to need some time to settle in. But once it does, wow.

I just bought some of these

Black and white nail polish are all the rave!

 

[bosshoss]

After my experiments with NCE contact enhancer today, I am beginning to think you may not need the tape at all. That's a radical position, but not unreasonable if you wanted 75 percent of the results for 10 percent of the inconvenience, and 1 percent of the cost.

The dummy AC double adapters with painted pins are beyond incredible. I added 4 more today and the effect is similar to what I would expect from 20 or 30 nuclear bricks, or wrapping the power cables twice with Batwing. But really I know the bricks or cables would not compete with NCE. It has the edge, it's alive.

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

It's hard to understand how it can work when it's not actually part of a circuit: a power point with a double adapter in it is still an open circuit.

AC voltage is present if the power switch is on. Alternating current reaches the tips of the treated adapter pins even if they are not connected to an appliance. And that's enough to activate the effect.

ANNOUNCEMENT -

The whole search is over. I have found the ultimate answer! Low cost, easy availabliity, one-time postage cost to get unlimited improvement into everyone's hands.
I will send everyone a small jar of NCE contact enhancer, and you will go to the supermarket and buy some power strips, and some double adapters. Then you will paint the top one third of all the pins of the double adapters, and plug them into the power strips. Then you will plug the power strips into spare wall sockets anywhere in the house. Best near the stereo if possible, but not essential.

Then you can strip off and throw away all the tape, bricks etc., because you will be able to create as much improvement as you like with several copies of this device. No need to plug anything into the double adapter sockets, just plug the whole thing into the wall outlet and voila.

Here it is:



At the supermarket, the materials to make this cost $22. It sounds better than my $12,000 high end Synergistic Research power conditioner. One small jar of NCE would make 100 of these, because the amount you use on each pin is almost nothing.
