RE: The Fab Four

Intron 8500 "consists of highly purified water & 50-Nano-meter sized organic conductive polimer + 8-Nano meter sized ultra-micro pure silver particles. These particles are dispersed as a high density rate, thus the liquid and particles will [fill in] the scratches on the discs, while covering the surface with a protective coating...[it] creates an unobstructed path for the laser pick-up of your CD or DVD, BD player/recorder to easily read and write the digital data imprinted on optical discs. ... [it] also eliminates electrostatic charges...minimizing the adherence of dust particles..."

So fills in scratches, helps discourage new ones, eliminates static charges...and may do more they're not mentioning, though I don't know why they wouldn't say all they can. Still these things don't strike me as sufficient to accomplish what I hear.

What I hear is greater clarity, increased smoothness, decreased edginess. None of these effects is dramatic but all are audible. I put it on new discs and occasionally use it to try to repair screwed up rented DVD's. Every once in a while I'll play a new CD without the 8500 and then add it just to see if IT's still there. It usually is. I could live w/o it but choose not to. I 'm not much of a tweaker by nature but am willing to indulge in this case.
