Anyone use CD tweaks

I was wondering about the effectiveness of products hyped to improved sound quality - i.e. products like Maple Shade's "Mikro Smooth" for polishing CDs and their "Optrix" surfactant product. You want to believe these claims, but sometimes they sound too good to be true. Anyone with any experience with these or similar CD enhancers??

Thanks in advance...

I use Rain-X, especially on scratched CDs. Essentially, I guess it winds up being a chemical polish.

A set of Mapleshade Triplepoint Heavyfeet and a 1/4lb of weight from their Heavyhat lineup will transform your player...CD tweaks are subtle but not an order of magnitude.

A 1 lb or 2 lb weight of any kind will work just fine on a CD player. Try a dumbell weight, or a diver's weight. If you demand brass, then look for vintage apothecary weights on E-Bay. They look cool, too.
