Why would something on the non playing side of a CD make the playing side sound better?

I wouldn't think that this mat, or others such as the ones sold by Herbie would have enough mass to do anything, though of course some on AA etc. swear by them. picture: diyAudio Forums - Increasing CD platter inertia - Page 1 Jocko says that these work and he has used a bunch of them in Philips based CDPs he used to mod. diyAudio Forums - CD - P jitter Q's - Page 1 DIYHiFi.org • View topic - Tweaking transport servos and optics |
