1. could make sense, because a serious cable manufacturer, who hopefully also listens both to live music and his main system, would tune his ware according to his aural preferences. If those are close to yours, you are probably well served.
2. Non-resonant is obvious. Non-ferrous makes sense too.
3. Cleaning every cd before listening is tedious and the results are far less obvious than pre-cleaning an LP before settling down to listen. You get far better results by, yes, cleaning your cd, demagnetising it and then ripping it to your HD or music server and listen say through a good USB-DAC. The results are far better than using a transport in MO. Just my two cents.
