yes, this is an excellent way to destroy your hearing: put two really loud speakers a few centimeters from your eardrums!

from the rec.audio.misc FAQ: 10.8 What about CD green pens? In a nutshell, save your money. A CD player "reads" information on the disc with a laser light beam. Some believe that if you put a green stripe on the very perimeter of the disc, then the light beam will not reflect around inside the disc and will more clearly pick up the data. Scientific studies of the data coming off of the disc have failed to show any difference between a virgin disc and a green painted disc. I have not heard of double blind listening comparisons that have proved that there are people who can hear the difference, although many have performed uncontrolled tests with positive results. eric onnow: beach boys : pet sounds (capitol) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: idm-unsubscribe@hyperreal.org For additional commands, e-mail: idm-help@hyperreal.org
