Good warning!

Yeah, the stuff does go where it shouldn't! I was on the phone with a well known tube amp/pre-amp manufacturer recently and he mentioned that they have seen amps coming back with problems after folks have put SST on their tube sockets.

It seems that SST has a way of running down and shorting out between pins, which burns resistors and other parts inside.

Word to the warning: Do not use SST or Mapleshade's silver contact enhancer on your tube pins!
