RE: The examples you offer are geared towards a Beltist explanation. And...


>>...other explanations look very weak indeed. But if I may say, that's rather unfair!
Counterexample: If one aligns a cartridge more accurately to the groove and hears increased spatiality and less distortion, would *that* be a Beltist effect? Or if one replaces well-used tubes with new ones, would that?<<

Speaking of unfair explanations! There are well known causes for sound improvement for changing audio cartridges and tubes. What is the well known cause for improving sound by tying a reef knot in a passive cable?

>>See, we can both come up with examples galore. It just happens that CD treatments fall somewhere in the middle, which is what makes them so interesting. I simply am saying that you can not adduce Beltism as the exclusive or even primary cause of the audible effects here -- anyway not until more, much more is known about how the damn things (CDs) work.<<

You don't need to know how CD's work or even what a CD is, to determine the cause of the effects of hand lotion on CD's. All you need are 3 things: 1) Working pair of ears. 2) Listening threshold high enough to hear the effects of the hand lotion 3) My post in the hand cream and cd's thread, which I wrote days ago, that explains how to test if its a Beltist effect.

If you can hear the effects on a passive CD, it eliminates all other theories posited on this phenomenon. For, as I already claimed, **it has nothing to do with CDs**. The hand lotion tweak will probably work just as well on the battery in your remote.

>>PS I have seen on the market CDs that claim to have actual "healing" sounds or music (more likely, "music") on them. Maybe they've been treated?<<

Not with Beltist product IMO, as I don't see Beltism as "healing" anything, or purporting to do so.
