Liquid CD treatments?


I can almost listen to cd's w/o wishing I had a clean vinyl copy playing. Still fighting some glare or edge off and on especially female vocals. Do any of the liquid treatments actually help or is it more you know what?
Thanks, Ed

What is your setup?
Many systems with digital front ends sound as good or better than high end analog these days, but there are many factors that contribute to the overall sound. Every little thing seems to matter.

As for CD treaments, Shine Ola is highly regarded as actually reducing read errors and enancing sound.

Nice setup. Couple thoughts FWIW.
I have an MF A300 integrated which I liked very much.
I had it modded and much of the electronic glare was removed and the noise floor was reduced dramatically.
The reason I state this is that the front end is certainly critical (I had that modded too), but so are the other electronics downstream.
I am a big believer in modding front ends and pre/power for better performance.
Redbook can be great, but like a good LP system (such as you have) it takes some work.
