I'm assuming you're using the new (clear version) of AI. There was a thread recently on Audioasylum about the new version "clouding up" some CD's. I've used both the old (blue version) and new and did experience some clouding on some discs, although I have never had a disc skip. I think that you need to apply the new version very sparingly (a little goes a long way) and make sure that it is very dry before you buff it off. If you've got cloudy discs or are experiencing the skipping, I'd suggest totally removing the AI (and the marker) using one of the AI cloths and some isopropyl alcohol, then rinsing with tap water. I would then reapply the AI (frankly I'd skip markering the edges-I no longer do that). If you have further problems, I'd contact Audience personally and post back what they have to say. I am still using the AI (I like what it does) and have had no problems.
Auric Illuminator on CD's
Hi,
I tried the A.I. on the CD's & was quite please with the outcome. However when I played some discs which were treated a few weeks back they started skipping quite a bit. Sometimes they would even skip across tracks. It is to be noted that the CD does not skip when the disks have just been treated with the liquid, but only after storage for a few weeks.
I tried washing the disk to remove the liquid ( marked edges with black still remaining ) & replaying them but still the skipping was persistent.
Now I am afarid to apply this to anymore disks. Has anyone elese faced this problem?
