has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds


absolute sound this month raves about the ultrabit platinum fluid application onto cds. Has anyone tried this? I find it hard to believe that if your cd lens is clean and your cds are not scratched that this would have an impact other than subjectively wanting to hear it for the $75 this product costs.

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.
Fplanner2000, your description of benefits is very apt. This certainly an item it's nice to share the "surprisingly" good news on.
Fplanner, you mentioned having to buy the cleaner with the treatment. I have found this quite sensible as I note excellent benefit from the cleaner omly on CDs that I have already cleaned in my previous way-which was using the cleaner for my prescription glasses with coated lens, followed by a filtered water rinse. The treatment simply adds to the cleaner.
