CD has it's own (hidden?) set of necessary rituals. CD's must be handled carefully and the CDP laser must be kept clean. Dust eventually gets sucked into the innards of your CD player. The CD disc-handling part is no harder than the LP ritual, but to keep your CDP's laser clean and dust-free you really need to disassemble the player from time to time to service the laser (manually) with a soft brush and compressed air. Those "convenient" CD laser cleaning discs that you can buy for a few bucks at Walmart that propel a stiff brush at several hundred rpm will probably damage the laser lens if you use them often. And there is a whole slew of "CD tweaks" that many people feel to be essential for good playback (CD edge paints, CD edge bevelling machines, CD polishes, CD cleaners, etc...). The similarity between the rituals involved in CD playback and vinyl playback are suprisingly... similar! CD seems convenient at first, but it's really not so... Clean your dirty records once with an with an RCM, handle the records by the edges, dust the stylus and record surface off faithfully before each playback - that's really not so hard to do!
