[QUOTE=nightflier] Have you tried just cleaning the disks with a decent cleaner and see if the effect is the same? Even if it works as you say, what if it's just alcohol and water[QUOTE]


I've had an Alsop CD cleaner for decades and I've never heard a difference whenver I used it. I ultimately chose only to use it on rented DVD's that were so filthy that my DVD player wouldn't play them. I consider it absolutely worthless for CD's, unless somehow they got very dirty.

I don't know what's in "L'Art du Son," but it's not alcohol, since it's completely odorless. While $55 certainly ain't cheap, the bottle claims to clean and condition 200 discs. That's only about 25 cents per disc, so that's a bit easier to swallow.
