does anyone sharpie thier CD's???

its amazing. take a wedge sharpie, and color in the outermost edge of the CD.. then color in the center flat area, and the innermost edge... when you hold the CD up to light, you should not see any coming through..... so actually before you do this, pick a track, turn it up and listen,,,,, then color in the disc, without adjuting the volume, listen again..... i get more volume, calrity and depth...... check this out!!

anyone from a manufacturer (or lab) from technicolor, to crest, to deluxe, to sony, to cinram, have all said there is no effect of any kind...this also includes the rings that were sold to the public.

It is a sound quality issue, not really a loudness issue.

The two pianos may not sound the same, but an "audio spectrum analyzer" should reveal their personal characteristics (harmonic fundamentals, tone, amplitude, etc) as to why they sound different (analogue audio).

As Shadorne explained, and other than the possibility of minimizing correction errors, how can the digital bit stream be modified by mearly painting the CD edge or backside?

Mark the edges of the Steinway with a Sharpie and see if it makes a difference.. :-)

Naw,mark the edges of the cheap vertical piano with the Sharpie. It's the one that needs to be improved.

But remember,if you use a Sharpie,you will have to tune the piano flatter to compensate.
