Tomek says “At no point do your two so called 'problems' relate to anything that I said”, so let’s explore it:
Earlier Tomek called naysayers (presumably not just in this thread) “arrogant and snobbish”. Rather than take him to task for inappropriately harsh language for people who point out that it’s impossible for a piece of tape on the label side of a CD to affect the sound, I skip that and go straight to a simple paragraph to explain to him what the problem is with his contention that there is something to test (considering how everyone else has already stated it’s all perception and that the tape does precisely nothing) and why his “test” results would be exactly as much use to us as his toenail clippings. So I will grant him this one- I should have explained more thoroughly why his "arrogant and snobbish" comment was misplaced and that I was explaining why.
Then Tomek stated that he was reading a book about scientists whose genius wasn’t realized until long after their death (presumably when we finally gained an understanding of their chosen subjects and realized they were right all along). I then explained that in 2004 a CD player and digital sound reproduction is not a field we’re just beginning to understand, that we understand the mechanism very, very well and aren’t
guessing that the tape will make no difference- we KNOW it won’t.
So it’s
my reading comprehension that needs to be honed, huh? If you still think so, I’ll head back to 4th grade immediately…
And, yes, Tomek- I AM saying that anybody who thinks rainbow foil on the label side of a CD can affect the sound in any positive way is indeed gullible.

I very much doubt Rodbec could explain what a capacitor does, let alone write a theosis (in his own words) on the inner workings of a CD player but I'd love Rodbec to prove me wrong on that one. |
No “theosis” from me, Pinkie- I’m guessing about all of it. You mysterious music machines confuse and frighten me- it reads WHAT? With a what? Is it light- is it sound?? I don’t know!!! Man, I'm SO far out of my league...
Hasta boys. That's all for now.
