Kontak
Electrical Contact Cleaner

Don’t gunk up your connections with supposed contact enhancers! They all leave behind a telltale “sound,” a sonic artifact that is simply artificial coloration. What you want is a clean, tight connection with no additives, no preservatives, and no “enhancers”! Kontak has proven itself over the years to be the only true zero residue cleaner on the market. Buy it, clean your connections and know you’re listening to your system, and not the sound of some chemical or foreign substance.

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!

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 he.
