Best CD/DVD cleaners & tweaks?

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.

I have a Bedini and it works very well. I also use the Bedini with Marigo CD Clarifier spray -- the combo works very well. The Marigo will also mask some minor scratches. The Endust for Electronics can be found at Ace Hardware (in my area), and it is in a blue can. I will have to try this on CDs... Good Luck!!

The best tweak I've tried for cd (and dvd) is to put AudioPoints under the player. I've tried these things under lots of gear, and they seem to make more difference with lesser components. An Airmass under the points helps, too. Bigger soundstage, more air and space around instruments, better high frequency extension, less grain. Under my dvd (Panasonic A310 -$499msrp when I bought it), the AudioPoints are amazingly effective; better blacks and much tighter bass. More impact on the dvd than changing digital cables, and less money.

to WHknopp0713: what's an Airmass? Cost? Where can I get these? to HK2: she got a blue spray can of the Endust for Electronics at the local grocery. They had another antistat spray product too (black can - don't remember its name) which actually caused degradation & harshness. But it was still OK for cleaning video monitors, etc. The Yamamura spray is claimed to be 'unbelievable' but I've not tried it. Maybe high-$ stuff like the Nordost? I wonder if the Bedini is actually an ionizer device (unlike a degausser). Jcbtubes: I agree - Tweaks are like cables: something that works great at my house may sound really lame at yours, & vice-versa, yet they are both good products. You absolutely must experimemt.
