CD Stoplight (green pen)

I gather your mind has been opened considerably in the last month or so



ps. so has mine :shame:

 

bit longer than that Chris

Been opened more today aswell, just taken delivery of a mosquito.
Its doing a stirling job between CDp and pre.
So CDp is Omiga'd right up!


We have BASS and body again

 

Good stuff. WM wants me to try a Mosquito to see what my system makes of it. What were you using before? So far my ATC seems to be immune to changes of interconnect. Then again the D102mkIII is a good interconnect to start with and isn't cheap.

My new mains cables are on their way. Shame the CD player is acting up. I may have to wait a while before I can enjoy them.

 

It replaced a DPA black slink.
The black slink is now sitting between pre and power, awaiting the next mosquito
Might be a while tho, to many projects to complete at the.

 

Alright you lot... argueing as usual!

Here's my findings...

I heard no difference with the green pen on Issacs system but on WM (Tony) system there was an improvement. All of this is subjective of course but I'm THE most sceptical person you'll meet! and not convinced by anything other than my ears.

IMHO you must have a very high resolution system to notice the difference. It may just be what equipment you're using. I usually notice less difference between cables etc. on my system which bounces trebble all over the place (bi-polar).

Well enough blabbing on, for those of you that hear no difference and those of you who claim you do, well who cares anyway!!!

Cheers, Tim

 

Hi, yeah I think so. I'll dig around for it and PM you if I locate it.

NB
Its not a genuine one, but a near-identical one from an art shop. Still interested?

Chris

 

Yeah, cheers Chris

Liam.

 

Looks like this pen might be hard to get hold of soon, if anyone has seen the latest Audiophile candy mail brochure thingy that should have arrived today or yesterday. The company making them are in financial troubles.

 

Jeremy,

I'm sure there are still plenty of these pens knocking around,I have at least three of them unused in sealed wrappers.

Hi IndyAudi,

What price for one? I'm thinking about trying one of these on my system. (I'm in the UK)

Thanks, Tim

 

Hang on a minute here.

As of yet, no one has claimed that the composition of the ink itself is the reason for the alleged improvement.

Bearing this in mind, surely the fact you cant get the original version should not be an issue. Just buy a green felt tipped pen in Smith's for about a quid.

 

Either that or the local newsagent has sold out of marker pens, so they're having trouble getting supplies.

From what I could gather, the pens claims are that its green, and that light cant get through it.

A normal green marker would let the light through, so wouldnt cut it.

These pens are the sort of pens that greengrocers use to write ''cabbages 50p a pound'' on their glass windows with..

about 4-5 quid from an art shop.

NB Still havent found it yet, will let u know liam.

Did you miss something out of your post.? It doesnt make sense.

The first two sentences say the same thing

 

Tim F,

Sorry 'bout the delay,well I had to find 'em first if you mail me at coffeedansathotmail.com with your address I'll put one in the post foc.

I.A.

 

Hey, If you're feeling generous I would love to have one.

 

Must confess, I did have an idea a while back of buying a CD Stoplight Pen out of my own pocket and circulating it around to those interested in testing it out - much like what Tones did with the Densen De-Magic CD.

Maybe if you have a spare one IndyAudi we could circulate that around to those forum members interested in taking part? I'll kick off a new thread if that's feasible.

 

Hi Henry T,

Well I'm sending one to Tim F and it appears he knows some forum members,will this do the trick ?

I.A.

 

Hi IA,

Well, I guess we'll see what Tim thinks, although if he likes it he'll probably want to keep it to himself so that he can treat his entire CD collection!

 

Only if it works!!!
