I'm glad to hear that Cramolin has made it across the Atlantic. It's great
stuff. Don't get confused
when you see the new name: DeOxit. It's the same stuff, basically. They
are trying to update their 1950's image. (You should have seen their
catalog 5 years ago. 1950's black+white graphics).
You can't hurt anything with a Caig (makers of Cramolin) product. (Well,
maybe by using the very rare cleaner/solvent-only spray and not
lubricating, but we all know that lubrication is good, right? Otherwise
things can get downright uncomfortable.)
You want Cramolin Red 5% spray. That's the deoxidizer/preservative in a
base of cleaning solution.
It includeds lubrication. If you are a completist, you could get the
Cramolin blue, which is basically for treating new contacts, it does not
contain the deoxidizer. You could use red, then blue, but I think that's
really redundant. Cramolin Red is now called DeOxit over here, and I'm
using the DeOxit 5% spray and it smells just like Cramolin Red to me.
(Which is not bad, actually, but you shouldn't snort the stuff.)
5% is the magic dilution factor recommended by insane audiophiles here in
the US. :-)
Seriously, I learned about Cramolin from stereo hobbyists.
