Construction
Spray some Johnson Pledge in the air. Now swipe your CD lable side down through the cloud of Pledge.

Performance
This simple tweak a) works as an anti-static and b) fills any micro hole in the CD's surface together resulting in a much more 'analogue' sound.

Gad Oh my god. This tweak is a killer: clarity, openness, micro details added. Even better than changing to 3 times more expensive cabels.
But in the long run, won't the oils in the "Pledge" harm the plastics on the disk? Should applying take place before any playing of the same disk (even the day after?). tnx
   
Robert Not to mention that the pledge (i.e. a hydrocarbon grease) will slowly, but surely, coat the laser lens in the CD Player. This will likely cause a malfunction at some point... I have not tried this tweak, but I'd be willing to bet that this tweak will damage the CDP.
   
Parney Hello seekers

I tried this tweak on a few selected cds and I am not convinced that there is any benifit. There was definatly a difference, however the highs seemed muddy and the focus was dulled. It is a fun tweak but its all in personal preference as to the sound.

Cheers
Parney
