Anyone use CD tweaks

I was wondering about the effectiveness of products hyped to improved sound quality - i.e. products like Maple Shade's "Mikro Smooth" for polishing CDs and their "Optrix" surfactant product. You want to believe these claims, but sometimes they sound too good to be true. Anyone with any experience with these or similar CD enhancers??

Thanks in advance...

A set of Mapleshade Triplepoint Heavyfeet and a 1/4lb of weight from their Heavyhat lineup will transform your player...CD tweaks are subtle but not an order of magnitude.

So what is this Shine-Ola? Is it a liquidand cloth as if cleaning the cd? Where do you buy it and how much is it? Thanks

Myrtle wood blocks underneath CDP, with a weight on top for vibration, and Auric Illuminator on the discs all add subtle changes for the better. I put a thick maple cutting board under my turntable, with myrtle wood blocks under each piece, and the difference was more than subtle.
