    HI ALL,
    Just wondering if there is any truth in the theory of Green LED emiting light near a CDP Transport lens, or using a green pen to paint the inside of the transport. I read somewhere (Can't remember where) that it does something to the laser,anyway if anybody can tell me,if it is a worth while mod,or what is taking place would be great !
    Cheers

    Never heard of the green LED before. I personally believe the green pen (applied to the edges of CDs) to be total myth, and I suspect ditto for painting the insides of the CD player green. However, some believers will be along shortly to say otherwise.

    my old revox cd player had green lights to backlight the display,not sure if it made it sound any better,but it look rather cosmic to see your cd disapear into a green lit cavern

    I've two discs that are identical one with a green edge the other without ...there are small differences tends to boil down to one disc has a more relaxed sound ...or the other disc put you slightly on edge.

    As to green led ...I'd read that they should be blue ...not tried it though.

    Stellabagpuss like the name.

    I was thinking, what would Bagpuss do?

    After due consideration and a folk song or two, Bagpuss, the mice on the mouse organ, Professor Yathel, Gabriel the toad and Madelene the ragdoll, would decide it was just a £15 felt pen. The mice would then push it into the window of Emily's shop and Bagpuss would go to sleep again.

    Actually, I had one and I could actually swear that there was a difference. Like the guy above said, it just depended in each case. I thought it added some body to thin, badly transfered recordings. Maybe I imagined it, I don't know.

    That is a good description of what the green pen does....so rather than think your imagining it ....thats what your hearing.

    Simple test buy two cheap cds and treat one and then see if you can tel the difference.

    You might be able to...but then get a friend to swap the discs randomly and see if you can identify which is which....because you won't be able to ;)

    Thanks for your input, all I know quote.... "And Emily loved Them", Of course she was talking about Green Pens for all these years,and not Bagpuss! Perhaps it was a special combination of Pink & White Pens thats needed!

    "Bagpuss, dear Bagpuss. Old, fat , furry catpuss. Wake up and see this thing that I bring . Bagpuss wake up, be light, be golden and bright. Oh Bagpuss , hear what I sing."

    And when Bagpuss, wakes up, all his friends wake up..............

    Did I get that rhyme right then ? I think I maybe missed out a bit.
