Rain-X as CD Enhancement Treatment
I have tried many different tweaks for cd playback, but have not tried rain-x. I have some in the shed and will give it go . These are my finds . Stoplight helps mostly on poor quality cdp,s. Green pen similar to Stoplight but not as effective. Finyle surface treatment has the same effect on good and poor player,s(not always an improvement depending on the disc)sometimes over softening of attack or transients. The best I found is a zerostat used for LP,s . Use it the same as you would for an album on both sides of the cd. Don,t discount until you try it. I read research paper on this back a while,that stated when a cd/dvd is manufactured it will have a static charge on the suface that has negative impact on the reading of the lazer. |
Shadorne, surely you're not going to let a lousy buck or two for some soft car polish or Rain-X, or whatever, stop you from such a discovery? True the money would not stop me. However, you would be amazed at the effects of years of scientific conditioning and brainwashing. I simply can't bring myself to perform what my preconditioning tells me would be a senseless task. It may seem strange but I will not waste one minute on car wax or green markers but I have spent many hours reading most of the orginal papers by Sony and Philips on the CD format and CIRC coding and countless technical documents from AES. People are wired differently.See this. The two camps often have trouble understanding eachothers behaviour. Each spends hours doing things that the other would think is pointless. Depending on where one sits in Myers Briggs one could have completely opposite opinion about the value of double blind testing. |
