That's very interesting that you think they all aren't permanent since I have found all the one that work are permanent. Why do you feel they aren't permanent? I realize some anti static sprays might not be permanent. But not all CD treatments address static electric charge on CDs. In addition, some CD treatments used to claim they remove mold release compound MRC from CD surface yet I am 80% sure MRC is not used in CD manufacture.

I was only speaking about static electricity, my bad for not being more specific, which does affect CD play noticeably. And most of those treatments, such as spray, are temporary, sometimes not even lasting for a full CD.

  There are many things that affect the sound. Scattered laser light, the colors of the CD label, whether the CD disc is properly stabilized, vibration isolation of the player/transport. AND the effect of the things in the local environment that influence hearing. In fact, I'd opine this last issue is BY FAR - the most detrimental to the sound. It's things not related to the audio system that are the biggest problem. Live and let die.

    I totally agree about microphonics in electronics and especially concerning digital. I'm not sure I agree about your last assertion unless you're talking about room interactions but I always try to keep an open mind.

      You're right, I'm not talking about room resonances. I thought I made that clear. It's not a complex theory, it's actually very simple, the more things you take out of the room the better the SQ. The sky's the limit. I guess audiophiles really are stuck in first gear. They don't like anything new. They tend to psych themselves out.
