| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism tomcy6"No matter what the wavelength of the laser used in cd players, wouldn’t any scattered light picked up by the photodiodes be miniscule compared to the direct reflection that the photodiodes read and wouldn’t any halfway well designed cd play... | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism randy-11Exactly - don’t waste your time - or money.People who do not understand electronics or physics can be convinced to believe it works, just as snake oil was sold to people decades ago.Hey, mods! Randy’s stalking me again. Deep six this Druid. | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism kijanki"As I explained earlier - spilled light would appear as mostly red but it shows as white (no red at all), because all camera sensors can see infrared and filters are not able to filter it completely. If you cannot understand it I cannot hel... | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism The bandwidth of the laser is not narrow. It’s actually fairly wide, certainly not monochromatic. As is the photodetector bandwidth. That’s why red scattered laser light gets into the detector. Neither one is monochromatic. And that’s precisely wh... | |
| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? Geoffkait: Really. Besides, lots of things cause that metallic quality. E.g., RFI/EMI, vibration, background scattered light. As I’ve oft stated, in addition to that metallic quality there’s that thin quality, the rolled off quality, the bass shy ... | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism kijanki"Geoffkait, pure matte black has 100% absorption of all colors."that cannot be true since adding gree to the CD tray improves the sound. Almost all CD trays are black or black matte. As I said you can see for yourself with a red laser poste... | |

| Do equipment stands have an impact on electronics? AgearAtmasphere: FWIW, the fact that trace amounts of the 7th order causes a metallic quality in the sound is something that has been known since the 1930s. So I don’t see it as any stretch at all to simply acknowledge that such could be the case.... | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism ahendlerThis was a big deal in the early years of CDS to try to get them to sound better. I colored the outside edge and inner edge with different colors. They actually sold audiophile coloring pens to do this at a premium cost of course. Never re... | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism kijankiBlack absorbs all wavelengths. Special infrared sinking paints, used by military, are all black matte. Cheap version, often used, is Krylon 1602. You can easily test it with infrared led (remote control etc) and cellphone (since they show i... | |
| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism "If edge supposed to reflect infrared then it should be gold marker, but if it supposed to kill reflections it should be black. Green doesn’t make sense."green makes sense if you if you want to absorb red light. Reflecting any light doesn’t make s... | |

| What's the deal with coloring CD's and/or tray mechanism The intriguing thing about the whole Green Pen and painting the outer edge of the CD or the CD tray with green ink, the complementary color of red, thing is that the CD laser is essentially invisible light in the near infrared part of the spectrum... | |
