Favorite CD treatment Products


Has anyone out there tried/compared CD treatment products such as the Auric Illuminator or Essence of Music treatment? Any preferences or comments on these products?

besides double the price of $300 vs $150, what is the major difference between the Pro kit?

Interesting discussion here guys, keep me posted and happy listening!
Re Pc123v. There is more fullness in notes and more depth. My Roxan Zerxes tt is sulking while I enjoy my cds. I was shocked at how much musical clues are still hidden on cds. There is a flow to the music that is amazing. I didn't believe cd could sound this good...Yes better disc sound better still but some notes can be "startlingly" good or real. But I'll let others chime in on this...cheers, bluenose How good did it sound to me in my system? It was if I had upgraded one of my components. That is how well it worked for me. YMMV.
Jafant, You get four times the liquid product in the pro kit
for twice the price. Better deal if you have a large CD library. I'm now on my second smaller kit. Could have bought the pro kit for the same money. Oh well...who knew
this stuff was this good !?
I received my Essence and found the music was improved over the control disc, but there wasn't a profound change. Like a veil was lifted, but a thin veil. The descriptions above are more accurate than my attempt to relay the improvements. Notes are fuller and depth increases. The music seemed to flow easier, sounded more like the performer was in the room.
I then took the control disc and treated it with Auric Illuminator and found the Essence disc came out on top again. I lost my control disc, but it seemed the control and the Auric treated were rather similar. I've had the Auric for some time, but quit using it after a while, only using it to help with discs that would "skip". I guess this is why I quit using it, not much change.
I believe I'll keep using the Essence, but only on the discs I listen to more than others since it is a time consuming process. But so is cleaning vinyl....
I've found the better the disc the better the results. In my system it was immediatedly a large jump. Made me love my Luxman amp even more[if that's possible]....:)...do try again and see if it improves fro you. Again ymmv...cheers, bluenose
