In Reply to: Green Pen ever formally tested? posted by gusser on June 20, 2023 at 12:21:37:
If I were to establish a hypothesis for why a green pen might help the sound. I would say: Some of the laser light striking the CD is defracted/deflected sideways and it strikes the side of the CD, and is then reflected back and then defracted/deflected back and picked up by the light sensor, causing some "noise" in the audio signal. The green mark on the side of the CD would reduce some of that reflected light.
Is this possible, sure. Is this a problem, I have no idea. But I would suggest worrying about speaker room interactions and smooth speaker frequency response first which has a first order impact on sound.
However, if you are willing to spend a few bucks on a green pen and mark the edge of your CDs to boost your audiophile ego, go for it - it hardly costs anything, but some free time.
Do I think it can make a difference - I do, although very small. But I would not bet my house on it, nor have I marked the edges of my CDs, at least not many - I did a few back when this was discussed more to boost my own audiophile ego...
