Walker SST contact enhancer

Than what's up with the Eichmann plugs and the new WTB RCA's. They go for a very small contact area.

BTW - I am not being antagonistic. I know nothing about this stuff and am curious.

I haven't looked at your link yet, but how does that differ from what is being done by people using this stuff at the breaker box?

Is it because a lot of current can be asked for at the power connections whereas that is not the case for signal wires (spcifically ICs)?

Rushton,

Thanks for the info. As I said, I don't know anything about this stuff and am curious.

Do you believe in the Nexgen and Eichmann theory?

FWIW - I used the Mapleshade contact enhancer (similar to SST) and found that it created more problems and a bigger mess than it was worth. After plugging and unplugging the ICs a couple of times, the paste ended up getting everywhere as well as holding any dirt it may have come in contact with. My result was noise due to a tiny contact on one of my RCAs. Very difficult to diagnose since it kept changing as I tried to narrow it down to a single component by changing interconnects and the paste kept exchanging itself with ICs and smearing on the RCA. Only a slight film of paste was used too. It took hours to diagnose, then hours to clean-up too.

But, maybe it would be good on the breaker...where I'll never have to see it again.
