Kontak
Electrical Contact Cleaner
It's a Dirty World
In
an ideal world the perfect electrical connection would exist
when the two parts of an audio or video connector act as
one. The junction between the two contact surfaces would
then present no barrier to electron flow and signal integrity.
The result- a perfectly reliable transfer of music and film.
Back to reality, where all electrical connections are inherently
imperfect. Being machined apart and never fitting exactly,
contaminates develop and cause oxidization. Worse, connectors
are often machined and the silicon oil used in the manufacturing
process is left to dry on the finished connector. Then stored
in a box for maybe months before reaching you, it is easy
to imagine the results, and that's with new equipment!
The Solution
Kontak is an advanced cleaning solution (CFC-free) originally
developed for military applications. Kontak completely removes
all traces of contaminates on any connecting surface. And
the new formula comes in a single bottle, making application
simple.
What's New
Talk to specialist retailers and up until now they have
not recommended cleaners. The reason residues left by the
fluid itself, encouraging oxidization and corrosion to form
rapidly and eliminating any positive benefit the cleaner
may have had.
Kontak leaves no residue on the surface of the connector.
The Results
Once Kontak has been used the contact resistance between
connectors drops to virtually zero, enhancing signal flow.
The subjective benefits gained from cleaning a system with
Kontak are: improved bass response, enhanced low level detail
and transparency, and a greater sense of dynamic range.
The more connections cleaned with Kontak throughout an audio
/ video system, the greater the result.
What The Papers Say
"The proof is in the listening. We cleaned my CD player
leads and sockets, then the speaker plugs and terminals.
On playback between each step, it was audibly more transparent.
I heard greater inner detail, as if I'd just upgraded to
another price level."
"For the cost of a couple of CD's here's an improvement
akin to spending a few grand."
- Ken Kessler, Hi-Fi News & Record Review
"The difference, believe me, was palpable. The easiest
way of describing the sound, fatuous though it might seem,
is to say it was cleaner."
"The soundstage seemed a little wider and a little
deeper, and everything had pulled into sharper focus, string
instruments have more bite, the piano notes becoming tighter,
losing any slurring or smearing of definition."
- Ian Rankin, Hi-Fi Review
"One might expect that Kontak's use would result in
subtle improvements to the sound of one's system. That might
be so in some circumstances, but my experience suggests
that in most cases the changes are far more dramatic. You'll
notice the system will appear quieter at rest, more dynamic
and markedly more detailed and informative when running.
There is often a new-found sense of ease about the presentation
too."
-Malcolm Steward, Hi-Fi Answers
Far and away the best Contact cleaner CG has used, "The
gains in transparency and purity are startling" gusheth
