Dan and Chris
I think there are two sides here.
If you have a CD player which power/transformer is not capable of
delivering enough power to spin the added weight you risk that the CD
lens system cannot be transported quick enough. So added weight in
this case creates a circumstance where more read errors can occur;
the error compensating circuitry has to be quite active now.
If however the power/transformer has more than enough power, it can
easily let the lens system go where it is supposed to, so less read
errors will occur.
The power design of any equipment, especially true for amps, always
dictates the posibility of good audible results.
So it is very much dependent on the CD player and its transformer.
Since I am never thinking in terms of single equipment, but always in
terms of the combinations of uquipment, I personally rule out the use
of labels. It is not a problem for me to solve. It is a situation I
freely avoid: I am paranoid when it comes down to storage of data,
and take as little risk as possible.
Perhaps this whole story could be explained better, buy Englisch is
not my native tong.
I hope however you understand what I am getting at.
