[E-Stat]

What about new CDs?

Any CD / SACD.

That's absolutely true. the sound of many brand-new discs improved with the application of L'Art du Son. Additionally, I've treated all of my CD's with the same tender, loving care I've always treated my records with. Not a one could ever be called dirty, let alone "filthy." I NEVER touch the playing surface of the disc, and don't leave them lying around.

An observation: SACD's improve, but less so than CD's with this stuff. Why? Lord only knows....

It seems to me that it must some how improve the legibility of the disc. I can't locate a L'Art du son website; do they have one? I'd like to read their claims.

How does it improve the legibility of the disc? Does it reduce the number or drop-outs or mis-reads? Or does it reduce jitter caused by the disc-read process? Like I said earlier, ripping to computer file will make any disc-read jitter irrelevant. So maybe it's reduces mis-reads. But then again if the ripped file verifies using AccurateRip, then mis-reads are also not a factor. So how would the stuff help me, who rips everything I listen to?

If most other members (or anyone else) said this I would have to laugh. Being it's you and your informed, no bull-sheit reputation I actually believe it.

Now to find me some L'Art du Son and try it for myself.

Thanks for your vote of confidence. That's not easily come by here. Once you've tried the stuff, I'd be curious to hear your observations and conclusions as to its efficacy.

I see they make it for LP's also, any experience with this?
