CD mats, any good ones?

George, I have to laugh when I see that add for UFO, I suppose it does similar thing to Bedini Clarifier, I've read that Radio Shack bulk tape eraser accomplishes de-gaussing for reasonable cost, perhaps I should look into this.....regards Sam

I've used Aurex CD mat. It's invented by a material science Ph.D. It's amazing! All my friends can hear the difference. It really improves CD sound quality. It costs only $30. My email is ykchu@mail.com if you want to discuss more.

Ykchu, where did you buy your mat, and could describe the improvements you hear? Any negatives? Most high end CD manf will tell you there is no need for mat.....but what would you expect from them......George my local radio shack has heavy duty bulk demagnitizer for under $40, I may give it a try, although I hear this effect is only temporary and must be done each time CD is played....regards Sam

Hi,I guess when P.T.Barnum says there's a sucker borne every minute ;He was probably refering to me directly.And yes you do it to ea.cd.But,hey that was before I came to Audiogon.NOW-I are twice as smarter than before. I wonder if the mat referred to is the one that got stuck inside my player ? The price is the same.

I own a Mark Levison 31.5 Drive and I tested the Aurex CD Mat. However, the combination gave very bad sound. I have been using the stat mat for a long time and it goes well with the Mark Drive. I guess the Aurex CD Mat is just too 'heavy' for the Mark Drive.
