Best CD/DVD cleaners & tweaks?

Auric Illuminator is 2 step tweak........first black opaque pen used to blacken inner/outer edges of CD, 2nd blue gel is applied to both sides and buffed off......the claimed total effect is improved read of CD data for various reasons, and thus improved sound, Galen Carol sells kit for $34..........Bedini II is subject of much debate, "clarifies" CD by spinning over electromagnetic field, creates polarization of CD surface which produces cleaner sound, $149 from Galen Carol.......I know, plastic and aluminum aren't magnetic, but I detect improvement and AI/Bedini II combo is even more effective together...... again not a miracle, but worthwhile and shows largest improvement on avg/poor recordings, more subtle on already good recordings, regards Sam

Thank you Sam for the Bedini info. I have to try it some time. Just don't put Armorall or freeze your CDs how beloved Stereophile told us 10-11 years ago.

Dear Bob_bundus Where or How to buy Endus for Electronics?

I strongly recommend that you check out "Discsolution" for about $35. It's very effective at improving the sound of your CDs. Try the Bedini before you buy. I bought it, but don't care for what it does to the treble region. However, your system might like it. You have to try tweaks in your system to be sure. Goodluck.

I have changed my power receptical on my Sony 7000 cd/dvd player to one which will accept a detachable power cord (15A male panel mount). I was expecting great things but the results were not as good as expected. I have ordered a larger gauge copper chassis wire to use instead of the smaller gauge silver wire that I used. I have an article from Soundstage which raves about this tweak.
