[This is being beaten to death in rec.audio; anyone actually TRY it? -tjk]

In the current "Stereophile," February 1990, pp. 67-71, Sam Tellig, 'The Audio
Anarchist,' describes a process of treating the playing side of any CD with
Armor-All [Yes, *that* Armor-All we've been using on our cars for years] to
improve the CD sound.  As Sam described it:
	"Every person heard a difference with every disc, every time.
	Sometimes the difference between an untreated disc and a treated disc
	was startling -- the soundstage opened up, dynamics expanded, and a
	wealth of new detail revealed itself."
The discussion certainly seemed to be quite serious, with no tongue in cheek.
Has anyone else experimented with Armor-Alling CDs?  With what results?  Why
would this work with *all* discs?  What have the manufacturers been keeping
from us?  Any responses would be most appreciated.
