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.

I haven't tried the Walker, but do use Xtreme A/V's QuickSilver paste. In my opinion this is one of the first tweaks (contact paste) a person should implement.
Sgunther, your description of what the SST does to the overall sonics of a system is dead on and accurate. I have loaned out my jar to about seven different people, and they all come back with amazement on their faces. It seems expensive for such a small amount, but you use so little and the postive changes so much, its really a bargain. Whats also amazing the gear in a system doesnot have to be highend/audiophile level to hear the difference.
I have experienced the same sort of "across the board" improvements which suggests that the signal transmission is less than optimum at very many points along the signal chain, even in systems that already sound excellent.
Because it takes so very little to treat an entire system there is almost all the product still left in the jar.
The idea that high tech cryogenically treated micro-silver particles are dissolved in a vegetable oil at first might not seem the height of scientific advancement, but the few extra calories only seem to help the performance :>)
I agree 100%. Xtreme AV's Quicksilver paste gives you enough product to treat a handful of complete systems. (That's around $13 each)

I've shared with a few friends already and have done 3 systems for myself and still have a little left!

I have a write up in the Quicksilvers testimonials at their web site.
