Anyone use CD tweaks

2chnlben,the Herbie CD mat is so light it wont have a negative effect on the RPM's,and it works the way you describe.
Tvad, my mat didnt work on my friends 3910 either.
The Herbie CD mat was the winner of a 'best cd tweak' in a thread from long ago.
Most,if not all that owned one said it works better than any cd tweak and does what it is described to do to improve the sound of cd's and sacd's
When I bought mine I think its was 20 bucks shipped.It may be up to $24 now.
Not sure if Herbie offers a return policy,but Im very sure anyone that tries it wont be returning it.
Herbie offers a lifetime warranty I do know. Even if your dog dines on it for lunch.
As I said before,Im surprised no one has mentioned this mat except me.

I use Pledge Anti-Static to clean my CDs. My results are pretty much what others have said regarding other cleaning/shining products. Very effective and cheap. A bottle cost me about $3 or so, and I've cleaned about 200 or so CDs with less than half the bottle.

Its the spray version (not aerosol) advertised to use with electronics.

I've been using the Marigo 3-D Stabilizer Mat (which is essentially a semi-rigid disc). I had used their original disc and am now using the newer design. They both work well also.

I was wondering if anyone was up on wether or not Shine-Ola is harmful to polycarbonate? I was told I needed to know this before using it with my cd player. I don't know what polycarbonate is but I know there are people here with a lot of knowledge on this great site. Thanks!

I have just received a John Blue CD mat, which sits on top of the cd, without any preconceived expectations I noticed a signifant improvement, music sounds more distinguised, more detail, voices and wind instruments sound more natural. Overal the music sounds quieter (less background noise) and the music is more coherent, also less sibilance. Slightly better separation, it is as good as an expesive component upgrade in some regards and better because it eliminates the digital harshness of cds. Currently I am listening to Enya Watermark and am thoroughly enjoying the music, first impressions; the sound is more analogue, and more detailed in an unobstrusive way. It cost me US$40.00, and the material is very light, about 3 grams, so it should not affect the motor. I like it so much that I see it as essential to cd player use. Note the cd player sits on thick marble and I use small mahogany pucks, that only touch on the rubber part of my feet, not the aluminium, since that is the only way it is effective in my system.
