Liquid CD treatments?


I can almost listen to cd's w/o wishing I had a clean vinyl copy playing. Still fighting some glare or edge off and on especially female vocals. Do any of the liquid treatments actually help or is it more you know what?
Thanks, Ed

I have used many of these all with mixed results however if my vote goes to one it is to Lloyd Walker's new "Ultra Vivid". It will light up your system. Worth a try and Lloyd has a 30 day money back guaranty. You can't beat that.

Not a liquid treatment, but you could try the Mapleshade iconoclast zapper gun. I find that increases low-level detail.

Another trick I've found on Cds with harsh treble is to use a computer to copy the disc to a black Cd (I use memorex). They seem to work as an equilizer of sorts. This seems to help at the CD transport read process. For me it's as if the treble is "slowed down" so that now, finally, with some CDs the treble timing is in sync with the bass. I know, it's hard to fathom in a digital, bit-perfect world. I'm an MIS professional, but I've come to grips that some of this voodoo does indeed work.
Aroc, see the RealityCheck thread here or on Audioasylum.

My experience with their cleaners, ClearDisc and ClearBit are why I recommend them.
Reality Check and the associated products are unproven to most audiophiles. A few proponents and endorsements are just that. Perhaps even wishful listening. I'd be careful.
The same could be said for just about any piece of audio gear. The only way to tell if something is worthwhile is to listen with your own ears. Personally, I've heard improvements from liquid CD treatments and I also purchased the Reality Check (to hear for myself) and feel the Reality Check duplicated CDs have bettered any CDs treated with liquid treatments.
