I have had the Desk Systeme for a few years now and I only cut the CDs that are keepers...Poor performances of sound go in another pile to be sold off or given away.......The CDs actually sound worse until the static (I am assuming this is the problem) charge from cutting the CDs wears off in a couple hours of play time......Nice improvements and about the same quantitive improvement as Optrix and additive as well so I cut the CDs, Optrix them, Esoteric Mist them and then squirt some ECO 3 on label side prior to play.....Sean hit on the high points.....
