Have you tried waxing your components today?

Don't know about wax but on the subject of weather proofing boxes I came across an amp on the internets which is available with hammerite paint finish as standard..

I really dont understand where all these mickey taking comments are coming from!!

I read somewhere that if i spent 50 quid on a USB cable i would notice a difference in sound quality over a 2 quid cable for my hifi.Now,that sounds absurd to me as all it does is transmit a digital signal!

So why an earth would forum members think i was joking when i think that it may be possible to get an improvement,no matter how marginal,by getting an extremely slick surface on my components
which are situated directly in the path of my large floorstanders?

When i say slick,i mean slick.I actually spent a lot of time using an automotive cutting compound to flatten the paint surface off properly before i applied three layers of black wax.The casework now has a mirror finish that looks absolutely stunning!If i do get a SQ improvement it will truly be the icing on the cake :dance:

Ooo.....shiny.

Sorry Mr Duncan!

I tried it and found that the sound quality improved by polishing in clockwise direction. An anti clockwise direction resulted in a dull sound but this may depend where in the world you live. Need to investigate further.

Is it more effective if you're from Brazil? :shifty:

I saw what you did there, very good. So what was her reaction when you called them by that name?

Hi,i've taken all my components out of my rack today and used a premium grade automotive wax on the casework.The wax i've used is a black,coloured type that enhances the black casework. The end result is a lovely,glistening finish that protects the casework from corrosion and moisture penertation.I live in a close proximity to the beach so salt spray is a real nuisance to all household items and tends to discolour and rust things extremely quickly! The real upside though i think will be to test the equipment once it's all back up and running to see if i can notice an improvement in sound quality.I believe the slickness of the casework now could possibly help reduce vibration,and high frequency reflections. I am wondering if any other forum members have ever tried this,and what results they may have achieved?

Aside from the juicy dangled bait (i really hope you aren't serious about the last bit), silicone spray works well to protect surfaces and silicone is non conductive, so PCBs can be protected with it also, so you could give the case insides a light spray too.

This is also a joke right? :O

Not at all, silicone is a water repellant and is widely used for protecting against moisture ingress and the damage it causes, amongst other uses. It is also one of the compounds used to protect PCBs from the same. Being non conductive it will not cause any shorts. I would limit it's use to non dynamic components though.

And for the OP, creating a more reflective surface that sits in front of your speakers will most likely have a negative effect, although I don't know how you would quantify it. Sonically reflective surfaces are what you would normally try to avoid.

Anyway, I was only waxing lyrical. :roll:

If only the americans had realised that billions spent developing this

Could have been saved by rubbing any old plane with this

 

[eggontoast]

Rather than using car wax next time you might want to try some of this
