Anyone use CD tweaks

Hands down, the best CD tweak I have found is to power the CD player with true AC regenerated power with the AC frequency set to ~90hz. This pretty much negates all other CD tweaks IME. I use a Walker Audio precision AC motor controller which bested a PS Audio PP600. The Walker unit employs both input and output isolation transformers therefore completely isolating the CD player electrically
and since it provides ultra pure rock solid AC, the CD players performance improves dramatically.

The key here is to ONLY power the CD player with the regenerated power and use balanced(prefered) or unbalanced AC power for powering the rest of the system.

Cheers

The best cleaner/polish I've found is L'Art du Son ... that is until a friend came up with his own formula. He won't sell it, nor will he tell me what's in it. Also, if you go to Radio Shack and buy the VCR tape eraser for $30.00 it beats just about any demag devise out there. Don't buy the regular cassette tape eraser, buy the large VCR eraser. With a good demag and the L'Art du Son cleaner, the CDs become much more analog like.

The last time I looked the Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser had been discontinued. That was some time ago. Fortunately, eBay is a good resource for the item.

Pledge AntiStatic works great for CDs. The non-aerosol one that's safe for electronics. Far cheaper than any audiophile brand, and far better than anything I've used. For about $5, if it doesn't work as well, you can still use it for other stuff.

Spray a little on the disc, wipe it with a microfiber cloth, then buff with a dry microfiber cloth.

I have used various products and potions as well as mats. My best and FREE tweak is all I do now. Wash the cd with a little (very little) liquid soap and rinse well with water. I work the soap in with my fingers and rinse. Dry with a cheap paper towel so there is no lint. I have an R.O. system and I use the water from there, I don't know if it would matter though. It is an easily noticable difference. Clearer music across the board like a haze has been removed.
