How many do"green edge"an silicon up CDs

One more caution about edge marking, even though the black
marker used in the Auric Illuminator kit can be removed with
isopropyl alcohol, some CDs have elaborate artwork covering the entire surface of label side. These can have delicate
matte/gloss surface coatings which will be damaged by any alcohol contact no matter how careful you are! Usually when you mark the CD edge, a small amount of marker will be deposited on the label surface edge.

I am not sure if green marker is removeable, but this is a consideration if you ever plan to resell CD in the future,
if you need to return CD to like new condition.

Unless you have a player/transport with a full-sized disc clamper or add-on like Simplyphysics, everyone should use a disc over the CD to be played.
The disc guarantees better coupling and blocks out the stray laser light.

The green edge fools are fools. Just look at the current issue of The Audio Critic. They debunk the cable and green edge and golded ear(if u cant hear the improvement them something is wrong with u, B.S.) along with a lot of others. So, now u have a choice. U can either be a person of reason(why the hell should a little green ink on the edge of a CD improve the sound?) or a green edge fool like the posts above and below.

Jazzcatlewis. You need to use your own ears to decide if and how to treat your CDs, not someone else's.

I have been using Finyl and find hugh differences on some cd's and marginal on others. If a disk sounds bright at all the it gets a coat. When it "works " well I hear the difference most in the sound stage ans smoothness.cheers steve

Delux, the black marker I use is from the Auric Ill. kit but any indulable ink black marker will work. I agree with megasam, mark only the cds you plan to keep. I have seen the damage alcohol can do to the top surface.

I also sand the outside edges with 300 grit sand paper (3 revolutions) before black marking. This helps to further reduce reflections (Ric from EVS recommended this). The Marigo Mat is used on top of the cd - makes a big differenc as Bob Charlanza says.
