I use Xtreme A/V's QuickSilver on both my high-end audio rig and AV system. My experience is similar to yours on audio, after break in of course (for break-in I repeat track 4 of Ayre Burn-In CD for about half a week). Try not to break the connections once applied. Works great on video, as well - apply to all connections from the dish to the set, including splitters. Clean connections well before applying, especially if connections or splitter is outside. You may need to adjust color a bit after break-in on video connectionsÂ…I did. SST can easily be removed with 99.9% Isopropyl alcohol, such as MG Chemicals brand. Brush can be cleaned with this alcohol too. Expensive, but it goes a LONG way (store it in the fridge).
Impact of Walker Audio Extreme SST
I am ,like many of my audiophile brethren, always looking for a way to improve my system. For several months, I have followed comments here and on audio asylum about the benefits of Walker audio sst and extreme sst contact enhancer. I must say that I was a skeptic, cryogeniclly treated silver particals suspended in some sort of vegtable oil for $150. Well being the fool I am and believing what my fellow audiophile had written, I decided to take the plunge with both feet. The product seems absurdly over priced but the results were well worth $150. The benefits were across the board. In particular the soundstage is better defined, individual instruments and vocals are better defined and more 3 dimensional, bass seems more there and taunt and the highs are more airy but not at all agressive. I was wondering if any members have recently experienced this product. By the way my system is composed of Theta Basic II transport, Camelot Uther IV DAC (direct to amp), Tara Labs Air 1 interconnects and speaker cables, Rogue M-150 amps and Audio Physic Virgo II speakers.

Sgunther, my experience with Walker Audio's Extreme SST matches yours. So does the experience of all the members of our local audio group who've tried it in their systems. For me, it's now a necessary component to my system setup. For storage, wrap some electrical tape around the jar lid, seal in a plastic bag, and store in the freezer. Allow it to thaw overnight before using. Then re-freeze. Dtsag, Extreme SST is available direct from Walker Audio, or from various of the usual mail order sources. I've not seen it discounted anywhere. Walker Audio does offer a full money back guarantee within 30-days if it doesn't meet your expectations. . |
