tube pins

I use SST, and I like the effect, on any connectors that do not get very hot during use. However, many have reported problems with SST and other similar products when applied to the pins of output tubes in an amplifier, which get very hot. I am not sure what the problems have been, but I have duly avoided using the grease on output tube pins.

As one might expect, IMO, the most profound positive effect of SST is to be had by applying it to connectors in the phono chain, starting with the cartridge pins. However, less is more, as someone else said. A small jar from Walker Audio lasts nearly forever (now that Walker supplies some oil to re-suspend the sludge periodically), so hang the cost.
