Audio Desk Systeme CD lathe Sound Improver


Anybody still using this "CD edge trimmer"? Any signs of degradation from the exposed aluminum edge?

@geoffkait when you mentioned freezing and Magic Pen I was pretty sure you are making fun of the idea. Not so sure anymore... 10+ years ago we had quite a few posts on the subject, it took me awhile to realize that Audiogon does not allow PM, so here I was trying to fish out the owners of the Lathe. Fortunately, my post at A-gon Wanteds section was a success! Will report soon: it seems that my Wadia 781i can provide a "hardcore" test on this gizmo/snake oil(?).  As is Wadia refuses to play some CDs. CD mats (i have two: carbon-fiber and the green-gold ones) always make things worse. 
Whats with the price for the thing? It bites, even for the crazies like me :-(
If memory serves the Audio Deske CD trimmer comes with a black marker for painting the outer edge of the trimmed CD and possibly the inner edge as well. In any case, the color black should be reserved for the inner edge only. For the outer edge can I suggest turquoise, green or purple? Black on the outer edge actually hurts the sound. Yes, I know what you're thinking, "But black absorbs all colors." Remind me sometime, I’ll tell you the sad story of the guy who painted the label side of his entire CD collection with a black marker before it dawned on him that the color black there hurt the sound. Moral of story: Sometimes we get carried away. 😧

Rubberized coating, cleaver. The ultimate CD treatment, 3 coats of AVM
on the topside. You can also contact AVM and they offer it as a service.
I have done around 50 CD's they reside in special spot in our library.

If you think that's obsessive, there are vinyl guys taking 2 of the same album then applying 3 coats of AVM to opposite sides of each record!
That's hardcore! I personally have not heard a record treated, but they say it is mind bending, I can say no regrets with the CD's we have done.
Dead quiet, more dynamic, more micro information.    
@audioengr and @perfectpathtech what is the diameter of the inner mask? Is it important, or is it there to prevent rubber spray from getting on the underside of CD? Once I get the Lathe I will try this tip... 
I also am curious to see a picture of what the CD mask (thin card stock to make a mask that covers the disk in a spoke pattern) looks like.  Anyone have a picture?

Also would the rubber spray be clear?  Or green? or black?
