Walker EST Silver treatment?

Mike, great caution about care in applying a silver contact enhancer. One nice thing about the Walker E-SST/SST versus others on the market, however, is that SST's carrier fluid dries and, as a result, SST does not migrate (this is not to say that is can't flake when applied too generously). The challenge, of course, is to apply only a very thin coating and make sure the applicator doesn't accidentally "wander" where you don't intend to apply it. It is highly conductive.

"i would very strongly caution that SST be used very carefully."

Arafel, I use Walker Audio's Extreme SST and consider it an essential part of my system set-up. It really does work. But, the best way to determine if it will make a material difference for you is to try some in your own system. If it doesn't work for you, Walker Audio offers a refund if you return the unused portion within 30-days.

If you search the archives you should find quite a few comments about using E-SST/SST. Here's a link to a post about our experience with Extreme SST, and the post contains links to several reviews elsewhere:

Hello Arafel,Do an Audiogon search ,there are a few threads about the Walker SST that would be of interest to you,I use it on my power cords and ICs ,,,,made a good overall improvement to the sound of my system,not like a nite to day diff. but def. worth the money,but do heed Mikelavignes advice!

I also give the Walker Extreme SST a big thumbs up. Once again, carefully applied this contact enhancer just seems to enable the music to flow with less impedence. Like another veil has been lifted, so to speak.

I have used the original, and then the Extreme SST with fine results. In one system I simply used for power cord connections. In another system I used for RCA IC connectors along with power cords. Can't seem to get up the courage for vacuum tube pins, because of sporadic reports of inappropriate spread of the product down into equipment.
Following Walker's precise instructions, and seeing how very tiny is the coating applied (leaving 99% of a jar unused) there really should not be a product migration problem.
Perhaps someone who ran into the need to repair component after using silver treatment can comment on whether there was more than a minute coating on the tube pins.
In my experience everything about the sound got better, kind of an equal opportunity tweak. As it is applied on more connecting points along the electrical and signal passing wiring there is an increasing benefit.

I use it on tube pins, all ICs, speaker cables and the Isoclean fuses in my LC-2 power cords. Normal people who follow directions should never have a problem with migration.
