Sean, what angle, etc. does this edge trimmer work at? Is there a corner radius? Is only the O.D. being beveled? I ask because I can turn the CD on a small bench lathe.
For people here considering $600 for a CD lathe, realize you can buy a real bench lathe for $400 from Wholesale Tool. Has a 7" swing.

does not work.
Also show me the magnetic strength of ferrous impurites in the aluminum of a CD. Pure and total nonsense, IMHO of course. I'll bet inconsequential even running through an MRI machine let alone a CDP. Antistatic is another matter.
I got the help of the engineering manager at one industrial fluids company and he supplied me with optical oil of greatest transparency to CD laser light and matched the refraction of the polycarbonate CD material. Did nothing to help the sound but if I got it on too thick did degrade the sound.
Did get some optical oil from a local microscope supply house and that did WILD things to cymbals etc. Not repeatable for some reason.
So I've settled on an industrial plastic cleaning solution which leaves no residue and spraying/polishing out CD with Novus #1. I did not find this smoothing out the sound as Sean noted. Then again Novus is not a coating like Auric etc.
That $70 Vivid does sound interesting though.
