About the best places to treat Furutech Nano Liquid...
I have had a few emails from Head-Fi members recently asking me about where the best places are best to treat? So this post may help some of you. My standard answer is all mechanical connections (both of the mating surfaces of the connections). But there are some very good places to treat that can produce very audible improvement. These locations may not normally come to mind. I am not sure I mentioned all of these so off the top of my head here you go...
Your PC:
* If you use a PC or MAC as your source, the SATA or SSD drive power and data connectors and connections. Meaning cable connections, MB or controller connector and the drive connections. Very nice audible improvement.
* If you like what you heard by treating the HDD or SSD and cables, you should consider threating the other connections inside the PC. If you do, I suggest treating all mechanical connections aside CPU. I treat my memory sticks and memory MB slots but just in case maybe leave this alone. Everything else treat. Do it methodically, section at a time or write down what you have or have not treated. While doing this, be sure power is off and make sure you touch or lean against the case so to ground yourself to the PC and components. If you have never went inside a PC, stick to the HDD/SSD drive and cables.
AC Power:
* Do basically what Furutech does. Treat the inside of the power cable. The cable's conductors, AC and IEC internal connectors. Yes this is an audible upgrade. Also if you have a clone like from Aliexpress you may find the connections could be loose (not tightened), I did. For the ones of you not familiar with AC (hot, neutral and ground), I would do one side at a time, so you can double check you assembled it correctly. Take a pic of the conductors and where they enter the AC plug and IEC connector.
* Treat the conductors and AC Outlets. Again, if you do not know how to turn off that breaker and check to make sure it is safe, don't do it. Disclaimer: I am not responsible if you hurt yourself or your gear!
* AC outlets (like noted above) inside Power strips, distributors and Line conditioners. If there are other mechanical connections inside the units, treat those also.
Misc. places off the top of my head...
* Video gear connections and cables. Video color saturation, depth and clarity is improved.
* Internet components and cables. Whether they are RJ45, HDMI, Coax or USB.
* Headphone cables, at the headphone and amp end. This like the HDD or SSD drives is very noticeable. This was the first place I tried the Nano Liquid and was shocked at the difference it made.
Have fun, enjoy and be safe!
