OK here's what I am hearing. Music on: No water.....sounds vaguely Ok but dusk ain't my favourite listening time for some reason. Never sits right with me. Fill a dish with water and sit it down. Not sure if any difference. Not really in a good mood to listen. Empty dish and come back in. Now I really feel out of sorts and system is just not doing anything for me. I'm sure it's worse. More to the point, I feel worse. Back to kitchen. 2 litre jug of cold water back in the room. For some inexplicable reason I feel more at ease and the system is reaching me better. Am I more receptive, is my mind playing tricks or is the some other effect? No idea. Just telling it as it happened. I will experiment more though. At least it's got me listening at a time that is usually the worst of the day in terms of mood and motivation for me.

Inhad a really enjoyable session whatever the reason so I will be getting the big jug out again when I listen tomorrow,. If I have another good session, I may try a pair of big jugs. JMH and PWB were always against even numbers, but 3 big jugs just doesn't seem right somehow  |

So, for the third time, why not tell us what you heard that made you 'think' it was better?

Who could possibly argue with the following statements: "The edges of C.D., Video and vinyl discs are a prominence which have assumed an extremely strong Violet energy pattern. |

Placing pound coins under stand type speakers is another one that works.
The two at the back and the single one underneath the drivers.

Had I best not mention the small piece of foil on the TV screen at this point?

Merely mentioning the existence of these things is rather worthless, I feel.

Don't get me wrong - I too use a similar process. But there is nothing voodoo to do with it. The light from the laser is focused to a tiny spot on the rear surface of the CD (almost in the plane of the label). Since there is no refractive index matching, light is partially reflected at the polycarbonate/air boundary, and, particularly on the outer tracks (the later ones, since a CD tracks from the inside out - ie opposite to vinyl) there is a more than decent chance for that light to get back up through the optics and add a noise-like component to the received data. Thus it adds either an increase in bit-error rate, or adds jitter - or both. All the green or black pens do is act to absorb any such rogue scattered light and stop it getting back up the optics. But violet energy patterns? What pseudo-science clap trap. |

There was me thinking a foil was a kind of sword. Slightly surprised, as I thought trolls could be killed with swords!

I always pen my CD edges with permanent green marker and they sound better as a result!!!! Don't get me wrong - I too use a similar process. But there is nothing voodoo to do with it.

Since there is no refractive index matching, light is partially reflected at the polycarbonate/air boundary, and, particularly on the outer tracks (the later ones, since a CD tracks from the inside out - ie opposite to vinyl) there is a more than decent chance for that light to get back up through the optics and add a noise-like component to the received data.

But violet energy patterns? What pseudo-science clap trap. OK. Fair enough. But it working on vinyl too, as JMH also advocated? Surely, that has to be voodoo magic? |

I have a 180L fish tank in the far corner of my listening room... Can't say I have noticed any improvement in sound quality! That said it may be to far away from my equipment to make a difference. Will move it closer and report back with my findings |
