First question:

If I use acrylic for the cover of a top loader to make the CD visible while playing a disc,
there could be some light shining on the laser and probably reduce contrast, especially with CDRs because CDRs are a little bit transparent.

Is this a problem ?
 
acryllic cover over cd

Hello Bernard

I don't know which cd-player, but there exists a high-end player and inside it the cd mechanism is totally screened off from light by carbonfibre sheets. Saw it on photo's in a german audio magazine. The manufacturer claimed better sound.

I thought of a acryllic player also but first projects first.
But sound quality is to me more important then esthetics.

Tubee (JW) ;)
