Topic - I tried green marker on the edge of a couple of CD's! - Mr. Dick Hertz 09:13:45 07/04/10 (36)

I tried this on many discs. I heard some improvement on some discs, but gave up. nt - Norm 12:18:13 07/05/10 (10)

Damn, you really can't hear! The freezing of CDs is one of the most reliable and discernable tweaks around. nt - geoffkait 06:59:21 07/07/10 (9)

Sorry, Geoff, I don't agree. I get more of an effect using the Walker Talisman. nt - Norm 13:01:48 07/08/10 (5)

Not a particularly good argument as the Talisman is quite powerful. nt - geoffkait 16:37:12 07/08/10 (4)

Huh! I thought failure to get complete benefit from a tweak was only dependent on the user. :-) nt - Norm 06:36:38 07/09/10 (3)

Exactly. That's why your results are frequently substandard... - geoffkait 07:52:50 07/09/10 (2)

Exactly. There is a range of impacts from tweaks as well as component dependence. nt - Norm 10:57:40 07/09/10 (1)

RE: "There is a range of impacts from tweaks" Right, and you're in the low end of the range. nt - geoffkait 13:49:27 07/09/10 (0)

Not compared to baking them in the oven for 3 hours at 450 degrees (nt) - Chris O 08:07:41 07/07/10 (2)

My favorite is putting them in the microwave - rickmcinnis@dogwoodfabrics.com 11:46:01 07/08/10 (1)

Or cleaning them with Goof Off nt - snert 20:01:55 07/08/10 (0)

Ever try a Bulk Tape Eraser? - 1973shovel 06:20:05 07/05/10 (0)

Ok, that's easy enough. - Mr. Dick Hertz 17:00:26 07/04/10 (4)

Have you put any in the Freezer overnight? - ArdRi 17:23:18 07/04/10 (3)

I don't think my freezer will get cold enough. - Mr. Dick Hertz 08:54:59 07/05/10 (2)

No. It's Celsius. - Mr. Dick Hertz 08:52:30 07/11/10 (0)

I think this may be more effective on a cheap CD player - Metralla 10:56:45 07/04/10 (15)

not really - it is often more audible on an untweaked system - jeromelang 22:23:06 07/17/10 (10)

Possibly because a cheap player has poorer error correction? - caspian@peak.org 11:01:39 07/10/10 (3)
