Power booster accessories6/16/2023 I had just bought a 25 years old amplifier which wasn't exactly in mint condition. Of course, if the metal surface is deeply strached, there's no liquid that will rebuild it (which is obvious) but the Power Booster from CAIG removes any trace of oxidation, even when the oxidation has been present for a longĪs some of you may already know, I'm a vintage HiFi nut so, from time to time, I buy new (old) HiFi gear for my private collection of Oldies but Goldies. It has made old connectors shine as if they were new. I've tested the Power Booster on RCA and BNC connectors and plugs, as well as old, almost rusted, connectors and even on video and antenna terminations.ĭudes, this stuff is for real! First of all, it works excellently as a contact cleaner. This way the metal surface should benefit from the contact enhancingĬAIG recommends to use the Power Booster with switches, loudspeakers terminals, fuseholders, headphone jacks & plugs and volume pots, as needed. Next, place a small amount of liquid on the metal surface and wipe off anyĮxcess. Once applied, wipe the surface with a soft, clean cloth until the cloth appears to be completely clean, with no traces of dirt or oxide. One or two small drops (if using the liquid formulation) is enough for treating a RCA connector/plug pair. Only a small mount of liquid is needed for cleaning purposes. I've tested other contact cleaner/enhancers so I already have some experience with these liquids. So, jokes aside, considering the good rep this Company has, I decided to put the marvelous liquid to the test. I confess I smiled (to say the least :-)) when reading these claims, as the Power Booster appeared as the solution for every kind of problem in the World ("everything works better"). Another quote from the CAIG product literature claims "Batteries last longer, Light bulbs shine brighter, Music sounds clearer, Everything works better". The R5 Power Booster contains deoxidizers, preservatives, conductivity enhancers, anti-tarnishing compounds, arcing and RFI inhibitors and it works within -34 C and +200 C (temperature in Celsius). In other words, this red liquid should, simultaneously, clean any metal surface and then coat it with a protecting microfilm that should fill in the microscopic gaps for better contact and long-term performance. The R5 Power Booster is a contact cleaner and enhancer, designed to "improve the flow of electricity on metal surfaces" (quote from the CAIG site). price: 15 $/Euro for a R5 Power Booster Kit (1 R5 Mini-spray + 1 R5 Liquid, 2ml squeeze dispenser)ĬAIG products are well-known to the audiophile crowd (at least in the US) as a solution for cleaning, restoring and enhancing electrical contacts.
