Dialectric grease any thoughts

I'd heard that thay made a change in formulation of Ultraconnect but fortunately I have the old version; thanks for the report tweak. When I run out I'll stick with Kontact.

How did you get it off? Pure Denatured alcohol (without the lanolin, water, & other misc. contaminants of isopropyl junk) might be a good approach. I'll bet you were really scratching your head when you cleaned all the connections & got worse sound! What happened - what sonic signature occurred that you didn't want?

At that time, I thought, How did I break my system, what have I done lately to make it so non-musicial. I had in the past used the original Ultra-connect formula and really enjoyed the results. However I lost the original and bought the new. After many headaches, I called the manufacturer and was told the formula was changed! The sound of my system had become grainy, the mids and highs were jangeling and had lost their coherence. Yes Bob, I did try the denatured alcohol though I don't remember that to be the cure. I had read about TPC sold by XLO,, got it tried it,and cured it. Music was back in my system. There maybe a better solution out there, but I will be most reluctant to switch. Tom

What's strange about that scenario Tom is that Ultraconnect etc. is supposed to *remove* all of the crusty stuff, leaving nothing behind. It seems that because the solvent did impart a sonic signature of its own, that in fact the solvent did leave some detrimental residue behind. It's NOT suppposed to do that of course.
Lucky for me I have 2 new full bottles of their original formula + the remainder of my original bottle. But I'll keep XLO's TPC in mind for the future in case I decide to try that vs. the highly recommended Kontact.

I'm quite ignorant about all this, but didn't Theta recommend some kind of goop for AT&T glass connections?

Unsound, yes they did, and I still have some. In the case of fiber optics, this was a light conductive substance designed to improve the light transmission of the connection.

Idea being similar at first glance, but electrically very different.
