Armor-all

I was browsing thru some old stereophile mags the other day and found an article of this, feb 1990 issue, raving about the sonic benefits of treating cd's so i tried it. i can't decide if i like it or not, it definitely changes the sound, much cleaner highs. anyone do this on a regular basis? what's your take on it?

Thanks, Megasam. Now that you have jogged my memory, I believe you are correct. The CD did become cloudy. I never did that tweek, either, but I know of some who did and they were not happy with the outcome.

Who else remembers this? My memory says(not much on a good day :.) - It was tried by a number of folk, and after a while(don't know how long) the CD would start to delaminate. Something about the makeup of the Armor-all eating the plastic. I do the green pen thing and am happy with that. I'm sure there are a bunch of cleaners out there but the one we have stuck with is the Optrix by Compact Dynamics. Good luck in your quest. If you read far enuf ahead in the Stereophile mags I think it will come to the results of the Armor-all thing. Roger
