RE: What is the opinions using conductive contact dressings?

I use silver conductive grease by Chemtronics on plate caps and tube pins. This it most likely what the audiophile vendors sell under their own name. Mouser sells a 6.5G tube for $61.89; part number CW7100.

You are correct that it is important not to smear too much on the contacts. Chemtronics also sells the applicators which appear to be the same kind of wipe that women use to apply makeup: little foam pads on a plastic stick. The bottom line is that an almost invisible smear is what you want. I apply with cotton Q-Tip that I use over and over so as not to waste the expensive conductive grease.

It has been effective for me in reducing noise from plate caps and tube sockets.
