Hi Chris- not sure about the Total Contact, but have experience with the Walker SST - that is NOT a cleaner- it was a contact enhancer that was silver based and some sort of oil/lubricant that made it easier to apply, but that dried out over time and made the stuff a lot of work to remove. I used Kontak for years, but since IT is no longer available ( at least in the US), I now use Blue Horizon Clean-It. Same drill - twice a year take apart everything, clean all contacts, and put back together. With all the pollutants in the air, no such thing as "apply once" as far as I know.
What is preferred/best contact cleaner these days?
I have been using Caig Industries DeOxit contact cleaners for many years now. I am tremendously happy with the results after reapplying every 6 months or so. I am shocked at how much better my audio equipment sounds. The equipment really comes alive and becomes very exciting to listen to.
Several days ago, though I stumbled across a discussion in this forum about a contact cleaner than never needs to be reapplied and is evidently just short of miraculous, Total Contact - Perfect Path, in how it improves the sound. I went to purchase some and was very dismayed to learn it is no longer sold. Then I read about another one, Walker Audio Extreme SST that sounded good, but it is no longer being sold either.
Is there a general group consensus on the best contact cleaner available at this time? Preferably one that only needs applied once. :). Thanks. Chris
