There's a story going around that Stereophile pseudonomous author
Sam Tellig once wrote [an] article recommending that readers treat
their CDs with Armor-All as a tweak.

That is correct, in the early 1990s.


Supposedly, the actual results of the treatment was damaging.


When there was damage, it appeared to emante from the scratches
accidentally introduced by too rough a treatment. These scratches
can be polished out.

In 1991 I treated one of identiucal pairs of CDs with ArmorAll.
Every couple of years I get the treated discs out to see if they
still play. They do.


I am also investigating the incidence of c!/C2 errors compared
with the untreated CDs for an article to appear in a future issue
of Stereophile.

Why you can't muster up that much energy to see why anybody recomending
Shakti Stones is probably into substance abuse.
