"If you want to improve the sound of a CD, you need to remove the static build up on the CD's quickly, easily, and inexpensively. Just fold a small sheet of normal aluminum foil in half, and put the CD in between the folded foil. Run your flat hand once across the upper surface of the entire foil.

You won't believe your ears. It sounds weird but, hell, it works!
In the Dutoit recording of Stravinsky's Rite Of Spring there's a spot where you hear a clarinet together with a bassoon. BEFORE the aluminum foil treatment you hear: both instruments are there, nicely sounding, airy and open (my system consists of a PS 300 feeding a WADIA combo and a McIntosh MC2000 valve amp feeding the REVEL ULTIMA SYSTEM) but their spacing is not well defined.

AFTER the treatment you hear the exact distance between the two instruments, their exact placement on stage (the bassoons actually form a line with the French horns here) - it's just that amazing."
