CD Treatment

I read recently on a thread here that there are ways to treat CD’s so that they sound better. What are some of the easier treatment methods that you’ve tied that have worked?

My CD player is an old Simaudio Supernova with front loading tray.

I have about 1500 CD’s

Thanks

I too have over 1000 CDs


I always wash them to remove any mold release residue


Over the decades I have tried many different treatments (including edge cutting, which works but the devices are expensive, time consuming to use and messy as the poly carbonate is shaved off the edge.


Overtime, in my experience all the treatments (including Novus) oxidize making the disc harder for the laser to read. When I play a disc I haven’t played in years I often find it dull sounding. I immediately rewash and BAM the sparkle returns
