Geoffkait: “Uh, but the two states are not (rpt not) accurately decoded. Not completely accurately, anyway. That’s why the Green Pen, painting CD tray and CD Treatments and vibration isolation and vibration control improve the sound.”

Sorry, not true. CDs include error correction encoding and decoding to ensure that the 1s and 0s are accurately read. Green pens and anti vibration tweaks on CDs and players are a complete waste of time and money.

>>>>>Hey, don’t be sorry. You’re welcome to your opinion. Even though it happens to be completely wrong. No offense intended. I’m come to accept the inevitable newbie backlash. No biggie.

There is some math in this article, it may be over your head:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reed%E2%80%93Solomon_error_correction

The result is a CIRC that can completely correct error bursts up to 4000 bits, or about 2.5 mm on the disc surface. This code is so strong that most CD playback errors are almost certainly caused by tracking errors that cause the laser to jump track, not by uncorrectable error bursts.

Never try to prove a math major wrong with math. Rule number one. I abondonded the Perfect Sound Forever bandwagon when you were still wearing bell bottoms. If we listened to mathematicians there would be no high end audio, just a big nothing burger. 🍔
