Best CD/DVD cleaners & tweaks?

The auric Iluminator.Email me if interested.I have access to it a a good price.

I have tried a couple of CD treatments, using duplicate CDs to test effectiveness, and Auric Illuminator is my choice. First let me say I am very reluctant to apply any treatment to my CDs, if you have been around for long enough you know the history of "great" tweaks, some irreversable, that turned out to be BS, and may actually degrade sound. I don't use AI on all CDs, although it is cheap, but about 1/2 of my rock/alt CDs have treatment......main benefit is to reduce digital grain/hardness, smoother sweeter sound with no detail loss......it will not work miracles, but it is worthwhile, and can be removed with some effort if needed......I also use Bedini II on all CDs before playing, regards Sam

Hi Megasam. Does that Bedini II clarifier really work? If so how are the improvements and what does this Bedini really do? Thanks

Tm12, I could not find your e-mail address. I can be reached at (butlermusic@rcn.com) What type of treatment is the Auric Illuminator? (wet, pen, etc?) Thanks Sam, ditto to Mfslgolded. What are the usual prices?

I have used "Endust for Electronics" very economical anti-stat. spray can (which also cleans TV screens & turntable covers w/o scratching, & shines faceplates nicely, even if you don't hear any improvement on your discs). Spray a small portion on a piece of lint-free paper towel (the blue stuff) & apply to the LABEL side of CD's. Cleans up glare & harshness on many discs; no effect at all on others. You can also apply it to AC cables, interconnects, & speaker cables - just like Nordost ECO-3 but way way cheaper. I got these ideas from reading the ECO-3 literature; dear wife suggested the Endust instead. It is not permanent so must be occasionally re-applied (Nordost suggests 30 day intervals for applying their $40/6 oz. spray) vs. Endust costs about $6 for twice the volume. "Your mileage may vary". I never tried the ECO-3 myself, so I can't compare. Regarding Bedini: no experience with that either. But I have tried a bulk-tape demag. unit that I have on-hand; it had no effect, at our house. Also tried the Discwasher ZeroStat gun on CD's; again no effect was discernable. Just FYI: Our player is the EAD Ultradisc 2000, but whatever you're using you might as well experiment - you never know.
