I bought one of these after discovering the $600 disk edge cutter. I thought I would try something low cost with little to loose. So I bought one of these cd mats. I went to http://herbiesaudiolab.home.att.net/cdmat.htm and bought the grungebuster. It's about $24 shipped to your door. Like I said little to loose IMO.
I picked a CD that I have played hundreds of times and played it before and then after (A.B.A). WOW! Could it be that simple? Yes, it is. It doesn't change the sonic charecteristics a huge amount but it does take the "glare" away. I also had IWalker audition it on his system and he agreed on the glare. He actually said glare & grunge....Which to me was well worth it, especially for $20. This mat can be transferred from CD to CD and reused over and over. So, if you would like to try an inexpensive tweak that actually does something give it a shot.
Good Luck and Happy Listening
