Snopes has an entry regarding the use of green edge markers to prevent ‘light scatter’ ONE SLIGHT CORRECTION to this video… The Dave Brubeck Hybrid SACDs I bought cost me £ each - not the £ I mentioned in the video. So that’s a bit of a bargain. If anyone is interested here’s an AFFILIATED LINK to the discs I ordered. However I can’t guarantee you’ll receive SACDs like I did. Note - my discs were ‘Sold by: Amazon EU .’ -
