In Reply to: Re: I didn't like it either, sonically, until 36 hours after application. posted by Rushton on February 19, 2005 at 11:31:01:
... and then applied the Quick Silver. I've always found that cryo'ed metals require much more time to break in then no-cryo'ed metals do, regardless of the metal composition. (Must have something to do with the reaction that the metal endures during the freezing and slow thaw process.) Regardless, the cables have been displaced and they need adequate time to relax as well. That might take longer than 12 hours.In my system, now listed in Inmate Systems, you will see that I too, possess somewhat of a reference system and that my ultimate source reference is the playback of 300 some master reels, (used in my evaluation of Quick Silver) as well as the exceptional TRL/Sony 595 for digital.
As far as Rushton's results: Was it the de-oxit application or the insufficient break in time or a combo of both? Who knows. My method worked. Quicksilver is exceptional, in my humble opinion, (okay sometimes I'm not very humble), and has exposed things on my master tapes that I never knew where there. This said, I guess we will have to respectfully disagree about Quick Silver. I will add that there is no way in Hell that it, Quick Silver, is going to be removed from my system.
As a side note to Rushton: I refuse to use any silver conductive paste on my tube sockets because of warnings from (now) two amp manufacturers. Whose product of the 3 different manufacturers is responsible does not matter to me, I ain't gonna do it.
