has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds

Uh oh Harve! What DAC did you end up going with?

(P.S. Long time user and lover of UltraBit here...)

Fplanner2000... From my above thread, you'll see that I had the same experience that you did with my lousy sounding CD's.

To add to that, I'm a NetFlex subscriber, and while they all play, some of them aren't exactly in great condition when they arrive. I typically give them a cursory cleaning. Last night before watching "Iron Man" (great movie by the way) I had the bright idea to clean and polish with Ultrabit... ... ... and bingo... IMHO the Ultrabit improved the picture quality.

By the way, to get rid of the fussy stuff that the yellow towels leave on the CD's, I first hand washed them, and dried them in the cloths dryer... no more fussy stuff.

I tried it long ago. I still use some of George's old cleaner, but did not like the UltraBit.

The best product I have tried is Lloyd Walker's Ultra-Vivid. But since I now put my cds on a music server and find no difference in doing so between cleaned and uncleaned discs, I only clean new sacds. I do find massive differences in ripping between AVM spray painted cds and non-spray painted discs and when using the Millennium cd mat especially with both. FIM will soon have UltraDiscs, which will have the AVM paint plus other treatments.

Art - I'll e-mail you so as not to mess up this thread...

Fplanner2000, your description of benefits is very apt. This certainly an item it's nice to share the "surprisingly" good news on.
