Stay away from any power connectors though...
I only used it on the 5v connectors for the USB card and SSD drive and to the 20 pin ATX connector.
I did not apply it to any mains connector.
Should I have skipped the 5V and ATX connectors??

They should be ok but again, my experience, the higher the voltage, the more time it takes stabilant to settle. And still a big no no for the mains because of possibility of arcing...
You will love your system more in the next coming days...

Tweakers indeed!!!
You guys impress me every day with something new  . I have neither heard about this before nor have I thought that tweaks are possible in this fashion. But hey we live and learn.
Thanks!

Started off painting all the RJ45 connectors... Small improvement.
Then I added the Totaldac USB. Much more significant.
Now this is getting really good. And I'm streaming Qobuz. Haven't even started on the digital interconnects yet.

Small update. I just treated my AES/EBU cable between totaldac streamer and Devialet master.
What can I say?! I am now hearing more detail, the notes are sweeter and the voices feel even more real.
This is a stunning upgrade! For under £50 I now have a much better sounding system. This is an absolute no-brainer as far as tweaks are concerned.
Still have the SPDIF to go between Master and Companion but I'm taking my time with this, savouring the changes.

I presume you bought a 5ml bottle? Is this a reasonable quantity to buy?

Yes! I didn't bother diluting just used it neat using a special applicator that came with it. Hardly need to use any as it's very thick and viscous.
Seriously just order it you won't be disappointed!

Hi Guillaume,
Sounds (no pun intended!) like a winner  . Must invest in some for myself  .
Point for clarification - do you need to apply to both plug and socket, ie male and female part of connections?
