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

Aroc, see the RealityCheck thread here or on Audioasylum.

My experience with their cleaners, ClearDisc and ClearBit are why I recommend them.
Ggil, I am Stanhifi's red cape. Every time he sees anything I think is good, like a dumb beast he has to charge.
As always there is no consensus on this. My ranking is: 1) RealityCheck Cleardisk and Clearbit; 2) AudioTop Digital; 3) Ultra Vivid from Walker. I have tried quite a few more, but they are not as good. Cleaners definitely make a big difference.
Listener, the Cleardisc and AudioTop both seem quite capable of removing previous treatments. The Vivid leaves something on the disc, wax I believe. It to is removed by both Cleardisc and AudioTop.

Splaskin, I have not tried Shine-Ola but am not surprised that you find the Cleardisc and Clearbit better.
