Sand and black your CDs.....also demagnetize and destatic

A customer was over the other day picking up his modded Oppo player.....he brought some CDs and was listening to my system using my modded Oppo. We played a disc of his that was a Cello and Organ duo....really interesting....however when we first played it all I was doing was being a critic in my head.....I kept thinking "the Cello sounds nasal, the ambiance is fuzzing up the imaging", etc. I asked him if I could sand the edges and also black them....I did this and immediately the first notes of the Cello practically had me in tears....really. The difference was huge...no longer nasal and very, very musical....more body.....much clearer and nice.

Of course, this does nothing for your turntable system....but how much does a piece of sandpaper cost and a Sharpy marker? Got nothing to lose except amusicality.
