I believe that Audience (makers of Auric Illuminator) recommend 1 or 2 drops of JoyTM dishwashing detergent in cool water to remove their Auric Illuminator gel. It should be a good surfactant for removing finger grease and other nasties in any case. I used a can of pressurized air to blow off the water droplets. Otherwise, you need to find a good non-abrasive cloth for cleaning and drying. The Auric Illuminator DOES change the sound of a CD. I haven't decided if I like it or not, although many people swear by it. Try www.audience.com for the manufacturer. Good Luck. Kurt
Biggest hype-worst tweak
I was wondering what everybody had found to be the biggest waste of time regarding tweaks-I've tried most-largely with satisfying results.The worst one for me was a Statmat (this months Hi-fi Choice has Jimmy Hughes still raving about the thing!)-a polythene floppy mat for sitting on top of your CD's-with weird markings-supposed to disperse static and make motherships land in your garden or something... Pure nonsense-had me pulling my hair out as it stuck in the tray constantly and my face twisted at the strain of trying to hear something/anything.....how my girlfriend laughed as she picked the thing up-you need help she remarked-I sent it back...and yet I fear I might have missed something Ben
