Quick Silver Audio and Video Enhancer; First impressions (Video only) ...

Posted by Jack Seaton on February 1, 2005 at 19:17:37:
I've been curious about the various contact enhancers available, given the positive claims and testimonials. I'd read over at Audiogon that those who have compared the numerous brands available, have chosen Quicksilver as the best.
Well today my Quick Silver Audio and Video Contact Enhancer arrived. I've only had enought time to use in in our Video system. In a word "WOW"! I had to reconfigure the settings on our Sony VPH1272 projector. Immediately, I noticed better definition, much higher contrast, brighter White level, and the colors seemed more real, more clear and realistic. All this with just applying it to the s Video cables and the RGB BNC connectors on the Sony projector and the line doubler.
I'm going to tackle the audio system this weekend and will report back my findings then. I understand that there is break in time involved with this conductive contact enhancer, so I imagine that what I'm seeing will only get better.
As it is, (without any break in), I'm now noticing minute details in the few test movies we've tried, for example, noticing that a suit was really pin striped where before it appeared a solid color; Noticing minute details in the back ground which were hazy before. This stuff is really increasing the resolution!
While I haven't tried Quick Silver on audio yet, I strongly recommend it for any video system. If it works as well on audio as it does on video, expect another Quick Silver praise thread ...
