The green pen is fun. The audiophile one for $14 is a pain to use, and it flakes off sometimes. A good pen is the Staedtler Lumocolor 314 "B" (not the S or M, tip too small). These are pens for overhead projectors with transparencies, you can find in good art stores. Do the outside and inside edge and the groove. Gives better focus, but y'know...some cd's sound better a little fuzzy...
"Feng Shui" and "Floobie Dust"
These titles were once used in an edition of Stereophile reporting on some miscellaneous items from a CES show. Do things like Shun Mook disks, Shakti stones, silver vs. copper wire (the resistivity of silver is only a little greater, so is it the grain structure?), power conditioners (for example, there was a fairly interesting article in the current issue of The Absolute Sound debunking most power conditioners and filters), etc., make a difference? Is there any physical basis (in terms of an understanding of the physics) for the claims made by the manufacturers?
