Harry Pearson's comments regarding .....

In the August/September issue of The Absolute Sound, HP mentions his very positive experiences with two CD cleaning fluids - Optrix and L'Art du Son. Would like to hear from 'goners that may have used either or both products.

Jack,

Thanks for the advice. I'll report back as soon as I can test it out.

Also, I'll be testing out the USB to coaxial digital interface I came across that Paul endorsed. I can't wait to record 24 bit on the TRL ML9600 HD. It should be an interesting weekend.

Shinola? Isn't that shoe polish? :) I use a drop of Dawn dishsoap and a cotton cloth. Pat dry with another cloth. Works great!

Yes, the original Shine Ola was a shoe polish, and has been out of production for probably over 50 years. The Shine Ola we are talking about is made by Record Research Lab and is the most effective and safe cleaner that I've used.

Here's a little more info ... http://redtrumpet.com/accessories/item.php?item=22188&sid=1100599754

I thought I'd chime in and try to revive this one. I've tried Optrix and Walker Ultra Vivid. Most reviews I've seen seem to think the Walker products crushed Optrix but after extensive listening, I have to disagree. While Ultra Vivid initially sounds better and more powerful, Optrix makes the CD sound cleaner and more musical at least for me. I think I will try shine o-la next and see how that one compares to Optrix.

The only fluid I have ever used on my CD's is L'Art du Son and it has provided the most dramatic improvement in sound since I had my CEC TL-1X modded by RAM. The sound is fuller, richer, with less of the digital nasties in the high end, with great upper treble xtension and purity, and deeper, tighter bass. This really is amazing stuff, in my experience. I was skeptical, but hearing is believing.
