Dick,

Since I was using 99% pure Isopropyl alcohol, perhaps the large sonic improvement was in fact attributable to the anti-static ingredient of the Memorex OptiClean left on the laser lens.

There's no question that fast-rotating discs do generate substantial dynamics-degrading static. Have long used the Marigo Audio Ultima Signature Mat with each CD/DVD to block much of their static buildup during play. The mat also much reduces CD micro-vibration and I attach the mat to each disc with removable double-sided 3M Scotch tape in order to stop micro-vibration from air flowing in between mat and disc.

By contrast the detail/ clarity improvement from demagnetizing/ smoothing CD magnetic fields with the Walker Talisman has never seemed comparably satisfying to me although I generally go through the full routine of two-stage cleaning, Marigo Mat attachment, Talismaning front and back before each play.
