In Reply to: RE: AURIC ILLUMINATOR CD Treatment Users.... posted by Harley on May 13, 2016 at 07:21:13
I moved on from Auric Illuminator years ago. Still have the kit/product though. With that said, would never go through the hassle of applying it before every play. If that is truly what's needed for optimum performance, it will continue to rest in my "audio relic" closet. When I use a CD treatment these days, it's L'ART du SON.

Thanks for you reply Mike. I figure even if it did work, I'd always be wondering if is still working or gradually faded away (Audio Nervosa!!). There's no way in hell I'm going thru that process every day. I do believe that it has been improved upon in recent years. I read it somewhere today, but can't recall where.
Yep, when I'm spending more time buffing CDs than actually listening to music, it's time to evaluate my sanity. Which probably needs evaluating anyway.
LOL, no kidding. I just heard back from an email I sent to Auric, and he confirmed it should be done every time for best results. The price is up, too. $40 to $50, plus $7 dollars shipping.
Retreatment after every play??? That's pretty ridiculous, IMO--and I have an unusually high threshold for ridiculousness! Or at least I did.
I used Auric Illuminator for about six months many years ago, and I ultimately found several products I considered significantly better. Never revisited it after that.
I now use Ultrabit Diamond Plus, which has been my reference for a while. George Louis can strike some as the lunatic fringe, but he makes a great CD treatment.
haven't seen any of his posts here in ages.
Thank goodness!
Happy to hear he makes a good product.

No such silliness with L'Art and the cost is around $55(treats 200 CDs) from Elusive Disc. A friend with a truly big buck system recommended this stuff to me years ago. Also a favorite of the late HP. Seems like the Auric fellow thinks he will sell a lot more product this way, but I think it will result in quite the opposite. No one I'm aware of will want to clean/polish a CD before every play.
