Re: Do you still use the Audio Deske CD "circumcizer" with Herbies Grungebuster 2007?

HI, WB:
I no longer trim my discs becuase of two reasons:

(1) After a while, the ADS started leaving radial marks on every disc I used it with. They were most apparent on black CD-Rs. They didn't affect playback, but it was nonethless unnerving to see them. I tried everything: adjusting the blade, tightening or loosing the bolt, going easier on the blade, etc. Nothing worked. I then thought it must be my unit, and bought a new one. Same problem. I then decided to seek an alternative solution. I instead started marking the edges of my discs with black marker and using Jena Labs CD treatment. That combo has the same effect as the trimmer, and I don't have to worry about marring. A couple of people have reported the same problems with the ADS, but most haven't.

(2) I got tired of the routine and just wanted something simpler. I've found it.

Hey, if the ADS works for you, by all means keep using it. It definitely *IS* effective. No doubt about it.

BTW, I don't recall ever trying the GrungeBuster in conjunction with beveling. Don't see any reason why it wouldn't work, though. It's cheap enough to try, and if it doesn't help, you can always return it.

Have a very merry Christmas. We're heading off to Florida in a few hours. Gonna be a welcome change from damp, chilly Michigan! :)
