has anyone tried ultrabit platinum on their cds


absolute sound this month raves about the ultrabit platinum fluid application onto cds. Has anyone tried this? I find it hard to believe that if your cd lens is clean and your cds are not scratched that this would have an impact other than subjectively wanting to hear it for the $75 this product costs.

I’ve been using Ultrabit religiously for about six months now. The blue velvet pouch (nice WAF touch) supplied with Ultrabit is a permanent fixture on my home office desk. What really convinced me this stuff was magic was when I dragged out CD’s that were banished to “really bad sound quality” shelf on my Boltz CD rack. For example, the CD by the Subdudes… titled “Street Symphony”… is IMHO absolutely great rock & roll. Maybe I got a “bad copy”, but the sound quality wasn’t good. I took it out and hit it a couple of times with the Ultrabit… and WOW.
Fplanner2000... From my above thread, you'll see that I had the same experience that you did with my lousy sounding CD's.

To add to that, I'm a NetFlex subscriber, and while they all play, some of them aren't exactly in great condition when they arrive. I typically give them a cursory cleaning. Last night before watching "Iron Man" (great movie by the way) I had the bright idea to clean and polish with Ultrabit... ... ... and bingo... IMHO the Ultrabit improved the picture quality.

By the way, to get rid of the fussy stuff that the yellow towels leave on the CD's, I first hand washed them, and dried them in the cloths dryer... no more fussy stuff.
