...other explanations look very weak indeed. But if I may say, that's rather unfair!
Counterexample: If one aligns a cartridge more accurately to the groove and hears increased spatiality and less distortion, would *that* be a Beltist effect? Or if one replaces well-used tubes with new ones, would that?
See, we can both come up with examples galore. It just happens that CD treatments fall somewhere in the middle, which is what makes them so interesting. I simply am saying that you can not adduce Beltism as the exclusive or even primary cause of the audible effects here -- anyway not until more, much more is known about how the damn things (CDs) work.

PS I have seen on the market CDs that claim to have actual "healing" sounds or music (more likely, "music") on them. Maybe they've been treated?
