Footers and isolation pads on sources, amplifiers, DACs, etc. claim to address piezoelectric, microphonic and phonon disturbances inside components.

The \u003cspan\u003ec\u003c\/span\u003eoncentrate may be used directly but is most commonly diluted (4 to 1) with 99.9% alcohol (isopropanol or ethanol). The alcohol acts as a carrier, spreading the material evenly before evaporating to leave a 1 to 2 micron film on the contact.
