How do you clean CD/DVDs ?

I've recently received the summer catalogs from Music Direct and Acoustic Sounds Inc. (both great BTW) and noticed there are NO CD cleaning machines!

I have a Nitty Gritty machine (out of production) which does an excellent job but the plastic top pressure lid broke long ago and cannot easily be fixed.

Seems like with the billions of CD type disks there would be twice as many cleaning machines than for vinyl but this is not the case.

Any explanations?

You don't need to clean CDs, although some audiophiles, suffering vinyl withdrawal, can't resist the urge.

These are all good answers but I'm stumped about why no machines?

I'll start working on one tonight. Thanks for bringing up this maketing niche oversight. ;-)

BTW, how does $495 sound for a pricepoint?

Cheers,

I'm sure I could come out with a scaled down Standard version for $349. However, the Deluxe version ( $495 ) will get you cd's cleaner, with it's more powerful motor.
The Deluxe version will make you cd's sound more 'transparent', as if another veil has been lifted.

FWIW, I've also started on an Extreme version, that will blow even my Deluxe version out of the water. It will be in the $995 price range. It will clean so good, that it will even clean the bits off the disc. :-)

Cheers,
John
