Anti-Static Treatments


Some audiophile catalogs sell Nordost's ECO3 anti-static spray for around $40. Can I get the same effect on my speaker cables and interconnects using a generic anti-static spray (the kind they sell in the laundry aisle in the grocery store)? How about rubbing my cables with a Bounce sheet? Just trying to figure out if the $40 price tag is justified.

I have been using anti static wipes that are found at computer stores. I find they work very well on CD's and have used them on my cables once i'm not sure about the improvement. Also try using a bulk eraser like RS used to sell, when I borrowed a friends and tried this on cables, CD's and speaker crossovers I found it to make big improvements. I am thinking of getting a Mapleshade Ioncast a lot of people seem to like them.
Thanks for the responses so far. I use Auric Illuminator on my CDs, so I was thinking about how to treat my cables.

Am I correct that a dryer sheet contains the same chemicals as anti-static spray? Rubbing my cables with a dryer sheet would be less messy than using a spray and would avoid getting the stuff all over my wood floors.
I love the Nordost ECO spray, cds, dvds, cables, that stuff really works........ I liked the Walker fluid too but it's a pain in the neck to apply. Gonna try the L'Art Du Son enhancer at some point. Any way you can't go wrong with the ECO spray.
I have heard Endust for Electronics is basically the same as the expensive stuff. May have read it here.
I don't know if the other items you are referring to work, but I can vouch for the ECO3. It Makes the MOST difference (in my system) by using it on a cd/SACD. Then much lesser differences on the i/c's and spkr cables.
Good listening!
Radio shack sells an anti static spray for less than $5.00. I would have to say $40.00 is a complete ripoff.
