A non-color
When the whole subject of coloring the edge of cds began, a marker was widely used. It left a light green opaque color. I dont find it anymore. The theory was that the laser used a red light and the green absorbed it so that it didnt reflect back into the cd thus confusing the "read". I conclude most any reflective color would be less effective and I know black is usually a "wet" very reflective color. So is my green marker but at least it is the color most effective. I use it inside and out.
Oddly enough, while I agree green is usually a very good color for the outer edge, black is actually superior to green for the inner edge and for all Mercury Living Presence CDs, the ones with the Black and White label, you will find red to be the best color for the outer edge.
Nothing like wading into the fight after the battle has been won. But the grandkids need shoes, the kids need everything and then there's the ex, so my nose has been close to the grindstone for the past few months.
Finally got around to trying the tweak as Geoff prescribed. WORKED FOR ME!! I noted a quieter background which yielded greater gain at the same volume setting, more presence, stronger attacks, longer decays, increased tranparency and improved timbre. All of the things that make sound musical. Delicate passages were NICE.
The improvement in my system was akin to a moderate cable or equipment upgrade. Didn't set the world on fire, but definitely here to stay. Tried it on ten discs. Worked equally well on redbook, HD, XRCD and SACD. Now it is just a matter of coloring all those damned discs!!

After playing with this tweak a little while, I have moved it up from a nice tweak to a must have.
I was placing the dots too close to the center hole. After moving them back as Geoff illustrated, I could make the dots bigger which improved the magnitude of the tweak. On some well-recorded redbooks, the improvement in just short of WOW!!
Pixelphoto, you liked Uncle Stu's charcoal/anthracite tweak. I think you will like this one too.
