Favorite CD treatment Products


Has anyone out there tried/compared CD treatment products such as the Auric Illuminator or Essence of Music treatment? Any preferences or comments on these products?

Question for all essence of music cd treatment kit....after treatment ... Almost all my CDs have countless "scratches". Treated some brand new CDs so I am sure it wasn't there before treatment. Care to check yours under a bright light to see if you are getting the same thing? Micro Fiber cloth brand new out of the box...so it can't be it. Btw...Anyone tried treating a cd twice? Any "improvement" over 1st treatment? Thanks.
One must be very careful of the cloths supplied as they might scratch the CDs. Someone dropped the ball on this one. This is very very unfortunate as I alerted my dealer some time ago about this issue. In any case, stop using their cloths and switch to the medical non scratch type of cotton cloth immediately if not sooner.
I've seen very fine scratches produced w/new, clean microfibre cloths that are not Essence of Music. Geoff - any chance you can provide a link to the ones you are recommending? Thanks. Thought I'd read somewhere fine superficial scratches won't affect audio...not sure, still worrisome.
Microfibre Tech

Helpful article about microfibre technology. Still searching for info about a cotton-based alternative.
Essence Of Music treatment caused fine scratches in all CD's I tried it on. Using micro fiber or cotton cloth made no difference. I prefer the sonic changes using other approaches when treating CD's.
