In Reply to: RE: Rainbow foil tweak revisited posted by magiccarpetride on April 20, 2012 at 13:04:39
There has been much discussion about this topic. I can hear a difference, but I do not attribute it in any way to the Belt explanation.

I could find the topic discussed but not what rainbow foil actually is. I read it is implemented by putting a piece over the center circle atop a CD. Any help is appreciated.

Rainbow foil is holographic silver foil that has been extensively treated. The foil comes in packs of 170 mm lengths that are cut into 4 mm width foils. The foils can be used in a great many ways, including on CDs directly on the COMPACT DISC logo. There is almost nowhere the foil cannot be used, but some of the more interesting locations are any glass window, mirror, light bulbs, computer screen, TV screen, any wooden object like bookshelves and tables, on cables, ICs, power cords and power cord plugs, any electronics box, any speaker cabinet, for starters. In addition to Rainbow Foil, there are many other types of PWB foils, some of which are quite complicated in construction and have more specific applications.

I don't care about the explanation, I only want to establish if the improvement is caused by this factor or by that factor or by some other factor. As for why, couldn't care less -- life is too short for that kind of a fall down the rabbit hole.
you've answered your own question, haven't you?

you've answered your own question, haven't you?
I've posed my conundrum explaining how the improvement I'm hearing could be attributed to a variety of factors, and how I'm not sure which of those factors deserve the credit. I fail to see how, by doing that, have I answered my own question?
You expect the answers to all pressing issues in world to be answered here? If you do not care to explore the rationale for how it works, then don't expect any one to answer your question. As for the other factors, wouldn't it be a very simple experiment to simply remove them one by one? Seems to me any one doing a series of changes without evaluation after each one is simply asking for trouble when searching for causality.
Further, you did say you couldn't hear any significant difference on Tweaks. If so, I believe you have answered your own question.

I'm not expecting any answers, I was merely asking if anyone else had a similar experience where something that used to sound glaringly bad all of a sudden sounds not so bad.

I've placed over 30 strips all over the place. I don't feel like revisiting all these places, peeling the strips off, then taking them out of the house. That's why I was asking my original question: anyone experienced a bad sounding component becoming more acceptable? Yes or no, simple question, not expecting any explanations, nor any causality to emerge in full force. Correlation is as good as it can get for me.
Since you have experienced it, who cares what others have experienced?

I care.
You have only seen the tip of the iceberg.
