cd spray tweaks?

Cornfed, thanks for the response. The claims do seem extravagent. I have spoken with the folks at Mapleshade in the past and they seem reasonably intelligent and cooperative. Hopefully, they will answer your questions.

I agree with Elizabeth that the CD sprays and green pens do work, at least in my system. In fact, sometime the change is so obvious that you need not have a duplicate CD to compare. However, I also agree with Cornfedboy about Mapleshade. When I first read this post a couple of days ago, I choose not to comment, as I did not know the facts. Now that Cornfedboy has provided us with Mapleshades exact claims, I must admit that the performance gains they promise would almost constitute a miracle. Perhaps I should buy these products, and try them myself. If the product is really as terrific as Mapleshade claims, there should be no problem with a refund if I am the only one who gets different results than advertised.

I've tried a couple things from Mapleshade. Now that Cornfed has posted some of the claims, I do remember them, altho I paid no attention at the time. I tried MS because they seemed to be one of the "good guys" -- trying to produce useful stuff without hyper-inflating the cost of buying it. So, at least their excessive "enthusiasm" is not deployed to support high prices. ........ Garebear, I don't think there's any risk to using the polish; I think the clear layer on the CD is plenty thick. I've thought about trying this kind of treatment. I have a little bottle of optical grade polish that I use on my Handspring Visor (handheld pda). Sometime when I have time to twiddle, I'll use that on a CD and listen.

Hey audiophiles, why doesn't one of us spring the bucks for a can and test it? (there is a money back guarantee). Why speculate and debate something we do not know? I'll bet in a day or two some people who have purchased the product will respond. I do agree with Cornfedboy that their advertisement is exaggerated, probably geared toward the average uneducated American consumer.

I have experienced good results applying the label side of CD's with "Endust for Electronics", first sprayed on a blue lint-free paper towel before applying. Some discs exhibit an enhancement(cleaner sound = less grain), others not. This is a similar tweak to Nordost ECO3 but way cheaper. The antistat properties work on cables & equipment, & it is a good faceplate cleaner too.
