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.

All I can say is that on my set it brought everything better into focus.

Try cleaning them with products such as ReVeel/ReleeS that come in sachets/spray.

De-magnetising and removing static from CD's works, by either method, before inserting the CD into a transport, or by mats / discs used on top of the CD during replay. 

It is a very cost-effective means of "improving" sound, especially on CD's that have not been played for several weeks, or more.

I don't own a CD player, but have just checked the website and for the sake of accuracy it is 0.64mm thick. If I owned a CD player of any calibre I would have thought that at $34.99 it is well worth a punt. If it works great, if not then nevermind. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
