How Good is Walker Extreme SST Contact Enhancer

I've always used and loved Kontak. Has anyone compared it to the Caig or Walker?

Suttlaw, I've used Kontak in the past, and liked it, but it doesn't come close to delivering what the Walker Audio SST provides in terms of improved system resolution and clarity. And I'd been using Caig Gold just before I tried the original SST: the SST is simply superior, and the Extreme SST is even better.
.

I disagree that Walker SST is simply superior to CAIG Pro Gold. Different
people hear things differently, I suppose. My ears are pretty damn good,
but not good enough to justify the added expense of the Walker
products. No offense Rushton.

None taken, Tvad. We're all just sharing our experiences here and learning from each other, and our experiences certainly can differ.

But help me, please: (1) are you saying that you've compared SST and Caig Pro Gold and don't find SST superior? or (2) that SST is more expensive than any difference would be worth to you?

If (2), that is certainly a fair position to take and a judgement each of us needs to make for ourselves.

If (1)..., well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. :-)

Best regards,

Rushton, I observed SST to be incrementally better than Pro Gold...let's
say 5% better. To me, a 5% improvement in sonics as a result of contact
enhancer is not equivalent to a 5% improvement in sonics from a better
source, amplifier or speakers simply because the benefits of contact
enhancer are so small to begin with. In my view, the miniscule
improvement using SST does not warrant the additional expense. That
said, some audiophiles find a 5% improvement worthy of thousands of
additional dollars spent to achieve the increase in performance. Also,
the tendency for the SST to flake...and yes, I did apply just a very thin
layer using the supplied applicator...is something I find personally
worrisome, especially where tube sockets are concerned.
