What you have discovered here . . .

. . . is a highly marketable audiophile TWEAK, akin to magic pebbles, pens, or foil!

Get a bunch of clear CD boxes, repackage them in some sort of attractive housing (maybe hardwood for its "organic" properties), and resell 'em for $300 apiece.

You will need to offer some sort of pseudoscientific explanation of how they "work," and your imagination here is the limit. Maybe something about how the carbon fiber in conventional CD trays causes a misalignment of cosmic energies irradiating the disc, thereby causing errors in data retrieval which degrade soundstage focus. YOUR trays of pure, clear laboratory-grade polystyrene, by contrast, allow these cosmic energies to reach the disc in coherent phase, resulting in proper alignment of data points and superior playback performance. The more obfuscatory the better, as long as it sounds "technical."

Then get a couple of shills to testify on these forums how they heard a HUGE improvement in clarity, definition, and resolution after using your product, and you're on your way.

Be sure to stipulate that each tray will "treat" 600 discs before the effect wears off and it doesn't work anymore and the customer has to buy a new one. That works out to only 50 cents per disc treated, a huge bargain in today's hi-fi world!

As your technical advisor, I will accept a royalty of 15% per unit sold.
