any thoughts on "Caig" stuff?
Latest issue of Recording magazine was way better than normal.
They had an article talking about: Caig DeoxIT Caig PreservIT Caig ProGold. I think this is something I should get into as part of proper studio maitenance. I've heard the Radio Shack creoline (?) stuff wreaks havoc on your contacts. So I've generally avoided this stuff. I did get a bottle of ProGold recently and spritzed it on a few things. But I'd love to know a good set of maitenance habits for this stuff...any ideas? maybe something like "use DeoxIT on your patch cords once a month, but don't use it on your xyz because..." I have *no* idea what a sensible schedule would be for this stuff. So any insights would be most welcome. Thanks! |

Cramolin R5 works fine. Used without any problems on Aircraft Carrier Size High End SSL and Neve Desks (to name a few). Glenn Davis "Creating the perfect mix is like painting a 747 with Q-Tips" |

Caig used to sell it, then Caig dropped the line. For a while, a guy named Richard Schaffert was selling it in the US as an importer, then he disappeared all of a sudden. I know that Cramolin is still being made in Germany and you can order it through Buerklin, but is there ANY distributor in America now? It always worked much better for me than the DeOxit stuff, and I only have two cans left in my hoard. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis." |

Always had great luck with Caig DeOxIt and Gold.
Just don't put it (or anything) in your fader sliders. CT |

I only have two cans
left in my hoard. That's more than I have by a half can. Shelf life should be pretty good though. As far as American Distributors, your guess is as good as mine Scott. Glenn Davis "Creating the perfect mix is like painting a 747 with Q-Tips" |

I tried the Cramolin stuff in Europe and the stink was so bad I had to
leave the room sometimes. It seems that Caig has come out with many great products. The Deoxit has never failed me and their ProGold products has performed amazing results on computer and communications equipment. Since I also am involved in professional audio, they have a new product specifically made for conductive plastic membranes and faders - Cailube MCL - works great on my membrane pad on my laptop. Hey, if any of you use or maintain guitars, they even have guitar string wipes - packaged and marketed by John Pearse Strings. Take a look at their website (www.caig.com). They have lots of information for many industries. Seems to me they are very progressive and develope products that work great. Mike (Scott Dorsey) wrote in message ...

Mike:
I agree with the original poster who noted this last issue of Recording was way better than usual. Thanks to you and Scott and Paul et.al. Tell 'em we said so! |

i just used pro gold on my sennheiser headphones...so far so good!
for the longest time, the signal would sometimes cut out, and I would be hatin' sennheiser for doing something so lame as having detachable headphone wires. but now i did a little pro gold, and the problem went away. it was like magic. |
