I have tried cd pads in the past and have had issues with them getting stuck inside. No more pads for me. I used a Bendini clarifier, demagnatizing device and still treat the cd edges with green paint, seems to work quite well.
If you want the utmost clarity from your CDs
This product has been around for a long time.
Someone mentioned it recently in passing in a post, so I thought I’d give it a try.
For $35, it’s made an amazing difference.
It’s Herbie’s Super Black Hole CD Mat.
Considering How much I’ve spent changing components in order to achieve better SQ, this cheap little device is ridiculous!
The difference in clarity is palpable.
If you haven’t tried it you owe it to yourself.
