Stillpoints ERS cloth for EMI/RFI

If you have experience or knowledge- in how many areas of a cd one box player could this material be effective on, and how to install?. I have read about transformer noise, digital chip processing noise, clock noise, etc. Would like to try full blown use for inside the box noise as my line isolation & conditioning are well handled.

I have tried ERS extensively over a 10-year modding career. I found that it was most effective right over the drive. I would avoid other digital or analog areas of the player.

Thanks Steve. I would have thought that may other areas in a cd player would benefit as well.

I can't say that I've gone as far as trying ERS cloth inside components. I got as far as trying it around cables and on top of various components in large, medium and small sizes of the material. I experimented with ERS cloth in two highly resolving system over the course of two days. The results were consistent - while the ERS cloth affected the sound, even in small amounts, the sound lost its sparkle and sounded rather compressed and wooly. I found out that even having a sheet of ERS material sitting on the coffee table hurt the sound.
