Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
My Cramolin red did not come with a brush. Maybe only "newer" supplies did so, thus further telling how old mine is!?!But at least my technique of using a clean toothpick has kept the bottle "junk" free. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric, I may be missing something but I never tried the blue. If I remember correctly, Caig claimed it to be a preservative to be used after the red cleaner. Does that sound right?I've had my bottle of red for over 10 years. I dip the tip of a t... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Nandric, FYI Cramolin was produced and sold by Caig Laboratories, not those Monsterous people. As indicated in the attached link, a significant component was banned, thus forcing the development of a replacement product.http://store.caig.com/s.nl/... 
What does one purchase after owning horns?
Renmeister, when you owned your Unos did you ever consult with Jim Smith regarding the woofer integration? As the former but longest running importer for Avantgarde in the US, he likely knows more about them and their proper set up for optimal per... 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Dertonarm, my apologies for assuming you did not know the basis for the Dennesen design. I thought you were inquiring about that on 3/22 when you ask, " just out of curiosity - does anyone know, what calculation is used with the Dennesen Soundtrak... 
Uni-Protractor Set tonearm alignment
Genesis, as D. apparently learned today, the Dennesen Soundtracktor was based on the Baerwald formula, as discussed in the owner instructions. They also mention the "audible affects of tangential misalignment . . . largely ignored for many years",... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Ralph, I believe there is one more factor in the perception of three-dimensionality or spaciousness -- how close one sits for a live performance. One season as an experiment I chose different seating locations for each of a half-dozen concerts by ... 
NAD 3020A Integrated Amp
Iamnate, most likely not all caps need replacing, just all the electrolytics. Unless you can get a copy of a service manual to identify their location and values and have some de-soldering and soldering skills, you will be advised to find a tech t... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Raul, and others interested in low cost laser levels -This site offers a model that looks like mine with a slightly different model #, CL6062. Price is $19.95 There may be other sellers. http://www2.dealtime.com/lazerpro-cl2062/products 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Re: laser levels.For anyone interested I have an inexpensive solution. I own a Lazerpro (CL2060) which is a 16" (38 CM) aluminum level with a built-in dot or line laser light. Place it on a nearby surface (check for horizontal with the built in bu... 
Best SME arm for TD-124?
Salmonsc, I was about to post a comment similar to Stanwal's, it depends on your choice of cartridges. I believe that relationship is far more important than any arm/table matching. Mass, rigidity, geometry, and materials in the arm all come to pl... 
How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?
No_regrets, I saw your earlier post where you identified your amp. My comment implied that I only remembered that Dunlavy used a Bel Canto amp at the CES but I was unsure of the model. And my comment about lack of full bass extension was directed ... 
How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?
One year at the CES John Dunlavy used a Bel Canto amp (the SET-40 like No_regrets?) to drive the SC-IIIs. It may not have offered full bass extension but otherwise was one of the best sounds at that show.While respective models between Duntech and... 
How do Dunlavys compared to new stuff?
Meadowman, when I had the Princesses I tried four 1" TipToes (aluminum cones) to couple each to my carpeted, wood-suspension floor. They transfered too much energy, exciting the wood floor. Overall balance was better with the speakers directly on ... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
So Raul, the obvious questions -- how soon do you expect production, and have you posted any specs/pictures of your "final" prototype? Oh, and projected price (US$) would be good to know too.
