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?

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.
Thanks guys...I thought I was doing something wrong.

NB...Unless I totally missed it...NONE of the professional reviewers...from Dagogo and Audiophilia made a mention of this problem. No way they could have missed it. I have treated 25 CDs so far...all of them are scratched. My cdp won't read one of them any longer.
The secret methinks is using the right cotton cloth. Since I switched to the sterile cotton cloth (recommended to me by the inventor of EOM) I have not experienced any more scratches. It's is extremely unlikely the problem is with the liquids as they are quite pure and very fine sprays are produced by the spray bottles. It is possible but unlikely that whilst rubbing the CD with the forefinger after spraying the CD with EOM some dirt on the finger could produce scratches.
