CD Treatments-Which ones do you like?

Bendini clarifiers definitely takes off the digital edginess.

audioprism cd stop light...an opaque green pen with which you "paint" the edges of the discs. when I turned some friends at a local stereo shop onto it and did the sound comparison between a treated and non treated disc, their jaws dropped and they both looked at each other with astonoshed looks on their faces...and this is in MO...the "show me state" where everybody is a skeptic...LOL.

18-20 bucks...I'm sure with a gogle search you will find someone who sells them, but it is $20 well spent.

just my 2c

I'm using Optrix, available through Music Direct and Audio Advisor. It's a CD treatment spray that will correct any CD's or DVD's that have a skipping problem. Most importantly, it smooths out older harsh sounding CD's as well as seems to quiet or tone down backround noise.

Green pen: Uni-Posca green: $3.00 Wayyyy cheaper than the audiophile approved pen. (however this paint does come off if the CD edges are not super squeaky clean)
AQ Cd juice (no longer made, I bought a box of 100 packets, that have treated about 2,000 CDs LD, etc and I still have 50 or so packets left. at $0.25 each a great deal!)
Meguiars "ScratchX" auto paint scratch and swirl remover: super disc polishing and small scratch remover: super stuff!!!

Walker Vivid, Mapleshade Mikro-Smooth, and Auric Illuminator all seem to work. I like them in that order. Trouble is, once you use them, the "before" comparison is gone, unless you have two discs of the same music.
