CD Tweaks and Longterm Damage

I was reading the blurb for LAT International's C Diamond CD treatment. They bragged that it has a ph of 7, while some other tweaks they have tested have ph values as low as 5. The latter they claimed would damage CDs over time, just like Armorall did for those who used it.

Has anyone tested the ph levels for Optrix, (new and improved) Auric Illuminator, or Vivid? Do any of these pose a longterm risk for CDs?

Jependleton,

Try Walker's Vivid on your CD's it is a vast improvement over the Auric Illuminator. A friend and I did a blind comparison using several types of music on 3 identical computer burned CD's. One plain(no treatment), one with Auric Illuminator, and one with Walker's Vivid. Both of us easily preferred the Vivid in a blind listening test.
.
The Auric was better than no treatment, but the Vivid clearly outshined the Auric.

Jes45, Were Vivid or Audiotop in the group of products that you sent off to your friend for analysis ?
.
I had found Walker's Vivid to be the best of what I had tried until today when I tried using a new product in the market called Audiotop. A friend and I did some blind tests today and the Audiotop surpassed the Vivid's performance.

I have not tried Shine Ola, but will get some and do some comparisons.

Thanks for your detailed comments. Very interesting.

Albert, Have you compared Vivid and Shine Ola and have you tried the Audiotop product ?
