In Reply to: RE: Damping CD Laser-Reader /Track more rewarding than CD treatments posted by Dryginger2 on July 23, 2020 at 20:00:46
Interesting, congrats on your find, and thanks for sharing. It seems that something like rope caulk would be bad for vibration. Herbie's Audio suggested using RTV silicone gasket maker instead of caulking--they should know. What about using FoQ product(s) since they are supposed to do something more positive with the vibrational energy.
I just transferred all my cd's to Innuos, otherwise I'd be experimenting. Good luck!

Ric,
I installed almost half the contents of the $120 package of 0.3mm FoQ TA-32 and 1mm TA-102 that arrived by Fedex from Japan today. FoQ treatment produced the fastest rip times of my experience (90 seconds versus 120 seconds+ for a 60-minute CD). The combined improvement in sound quality over Marigo Audio 3mm Green Dots on the laser tray/ track and rope caulk on the ripper chassis turned out to be subtle but good recordings of the piano now finally do sound exactly like a piano with well-defined notes, natural tone, convincing timber, and live decay .
An advantage of adding a footer layer of hard 10mm black wild rice (from Whole Foods) in a plastic bag is that you can get a component 100% level in all directions. I like to think it also contributes to an improvement in the sound of musical decay too but that may be imaginary.
Thanks again for the FoQ suggestion.
D.G.
Thank you for your suggestions, Ric.
CDs are an anachronism and yet those owning media are ahead of those dependent on streamed media owned by others and you certainly have the best of both worlds.
