04-18-07: EldartfordI was highly dubious of the affect Shine-Ola would have on CDs, but hearing an A/B in my own system put all disbelief to rest. I should also add that before doing the A/B test I burned identical copies of the audition music, and I told my buddy not to tell me which one was treated/cleaned. Only after I had listened to both (and heard a difference between them) did I ask my friend to tell me which was cleaned with Shine-Ola. Sure enough, the Shine-Ola cleaned CD was the one that sounded clearly better. We repeated the A/B listening on a few more discs and the results were the same each time.
I really question the need to clean CDs.
Is analog & vinyl anoying? Is it worht it.
Yeah it may be better than digital. But come on. 3K+ for a cartridge. Cleaning machines. Preamps. VTA adjustments. noisy records. expensive software. By the time you get it all set up you are ready to just turn on the tv and watch Sportscenter. Is there any alternative?
