Spay for CD

Not sure where Rodman & Geoff are taking this thread, but regarding CD cleaning/treatment, I'll re-post what I wrote on that other thread (linked near the top of this one).  The OP there took my advice and seems very pleased, so here it is again...

I've spent some time on this, so I'll share what I've found... for what it's worth.

In most cases, you only need to clean (or treat) new discs.  Warm water & mild hand-soap will do about 90% of the job, but a good treatment will do even more (for better or worse - read on...).

I've tried a number of CD treatments, Ultrabit, Liquid Resolution, Shine-Ola and maybe a few more. All provided 'cleaner' sound, but also added brightness to the sonic balance. Liquid Res. was the most neutral of those above (but no longer available). HOWEVER...

the absolute BEST of all is L'ART DU SON. It not only cleans the CDS, it also provides a very natural sonic balance and almost seems to enrich the midrange. I use it on every new disc I buy. VERY highly recommended!

Weebeesdad - Sorry for the low response.  I try not to visit these forums too often.

The answer is that L'Art Du Son makes BOTH a CD cleaner/treatment and also a vinyl cleaner.  I've never tried the vinyl treatment, but I hear it is good.

I use the CD treatment on every new CD I buy.  When I first tried it, I would listen once before treating the CD (to judge the difference).  I've long-since stopped doing that, as it improves every CD to some extent or another. 

I've found that (physically) very well-produced CDs, like XRCDs and Reference Recordings are improved less dramatically than most.

I hope that helps
