CD Sound??

I read a review on 6 moons that said that the black CDRs sounded best. I ordered a spindle to try out from CDW.com. They were Memorex, and I do think they sound better than the average TDK or Fuji cheap CDRs, but they aren't as good as Mitsui Gold in my opinion. I have had a few skips and glitches when using the black CDRs, where I don't have any problems with others that I've used.

Does "our" Vader wear black too?
I usually listen with my eyes closed, so EVERYTHING is black as far as I'm concerned. So no stimulus cross-contamination issues, resulting in higher s/n ratio in my brain, I suppose. You really think that's true for Redbook lasers too?

Your theory has some support, for sure. Check out:

I have found the black cds to be slightly better than any other. I have used the exact audio copy for transfer and even went as far as testing my friends who think i'm nuts for this infinant pursuit of happyness.The only cds I can find is memorex. I sure would like to know if I could get any other kind in Canada to test.

When I just powered on my Theta transport, it will read my black Imation CDR and redbook CD, 5 min later it will read all CDRs.
