I couldn't disagree with Rushton more. I have directly compared Quicksilver to SST and there is NO comparison. Quicksilver is in another league. Don't get me wrong, I did like SST when I first tried it...but SST is minor league when compared to Quicksilver.
First off you didn’t let Quicksilver break in long enough. The instructions say 72-96 hours. I didn't like the initial listening either, but based on the manufacturers recommendations, I ran my system for several days WITH signal and then did some critical listening. I found the results anything but "fatiguing" or "un natural", in fact the total opposite was the case. There was less noise, less congestion, instruments had VERY distinct separation. The music was more enveloping rather than being thrust at me. The singer had moved a foot or two more forward, but there was infinite space behind them now. There were no boundaries to the right and left sides as there were before. A HUGE sense of space and openness like never before.

“Brightness” and “messes up tonal balance and overtone structure”? Not here. I’m hearing something totally different.

I agree with Jack Seaton, I’m hearing things that I never knew were on recordings before, including the two months I used SST.

I was so impressed with what Quicksilver did for my two-channel that I treated my home theater system…same results, absolutely incredible. I have an extensive DVD collection and naturally I have some favorite/reference movies and concerts. Again…I am hearing voices more clearly and with texture and body through my center channel that are chilling they are so real. Sounds that were very subtle before Quicksilver are now very apparent. But as good as Quicksilver is on Audio…the Video is even better. Since applying Quicksilver about 6 weeks ago, I have turned my color levels down 30% and my black level down 15%. Immediately after applying Quicksilver I had to turn the color down about 20% and the black level down about 10%. The picture continues to improve every week.

SST not only lacks in performance, the application is a nightmare and the removal is worse that that. Be prepared to remove something closely resembling gum on the bottom of a school desk when removing SST. Quicksilver removes very easily in seconds and is totally removes easily with one swipe of an alcohol swab. SST’s swab is also very clumsy, you CAN NOT apply to an S Video cable with this eyeliner applicator. I say can not, you could if you want it all over the sides of the barrel and have a total messand the risk of shorting out your pins! Quicksilver has a very sleek brush that is a sheer pleasure to use .Walkers applicator is like trying to use a jack hammer for precision work.

After reading Rushtons posts here and elsewhere, it appears to me that he may be on a promotional campaign for Walker products. While I like some of Walkers products, I call them like I see them. I also wonder how objective of a review Rushton could make after I look at his previous posts about the Procenium and SST elsewhere? It is apperant that Rushton has an agenda. Although he may or may not be employed by Lloyd Walker, it would be a safe bet that he got some direct affiliation with him.

I have read the numerous Testimonials by Quicksilver customers like Jack Seaton, and ALL of them contradict Rushton and parallel my experiences.

One suggestion to Rushton, contact Quicksilver and request your money back. Quicksilver has a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

Quicksilver improved my neighbors $2000.00 Audio/Video system just as much as it did my reference system . There not is the same league by any means, but the improvements were very similar.

Quicksilver is literally like changing a component, the improvements are anything but subtle and at $64.95 it is a freakin steal!

In closing Rushton…No, I’m not buying it, I smell the stench of ulterior motives in the air!
Treyfrench, ye of one post, the only stench of ulterior motives I smell is yours. Rushton is the wrong guy to pick on. His credibility around here is beyond reproach.
JUST posts don't give credibility. Rushton is a stool pigeon for Walker and his products plain and simple. Hell he probably didn’t even buy any Quicksilver. Look back at his reviews of the Procenium Turntable and SST. His comments on Quicksilver directly contradict EVERY other testimonial to date. Anyone who has used Quicksilver AND SST will tell you exactly what I have.

There is no opinion involved here, these are FACTS. I challenge you to dispute one thing I have said in my comparisons of Quicksilver and SST.

This is not about the number of posts here .Its about comparing SST to Quicksilver, if you have something about comparing the two, I would love to hear it.

CHALLENGE RUSHTON…Tell us (Audiogon Community) where you purchased the Quicksilver and when. I don’t think you bought any…
I applied quicksilver to my system, Video first, 2 channel next. It has only been a week in my system. I also could tell a difference right away on video. 2 channel is just starting to change. I beleive this is going to be a great tweak. So far so good in what I am hearing. Video, Yes very good tweak for sure. It is still improveing in both formats.
I've heard from a number of Quicksilver users that we did not allow enough break-in time and that Quicksilver needs 36-72 hours to begin coming into its own. Break-in is something we've all experienced, and I agree it is important and real for many components. The break-in we allowed in our listening was 12+ hours, clearly not as long as is being recommended. So, treat my comments as premature, if you will. Since I don't plan on spending more time re-doing our listening session with this longer break-in period, I've asked Audiogon to delete my comments, which they graciously did. If you decide to try this product, I suggest you be prepared to invest a lot more time for break-in than we allowed in order to try this in your own system.
