Digital data storage is not analog-like at all! It exists independent of the physical properties of the storage medium! This is the revolutionary change in music storage and retrieval! Analog- like fixes do not apply (sprays, green pens, trimming the edges,weighted pucks, demagnitizers ... ).
>>>>Actually, while it’s true the physical data on a CD is unalterable, the process of reading the data is an analog process, an optical process. And therein lies the problem. Because the laser reading process is not perfect, even with Reed Solomon codes and laser servo mechanism, the physical data is subject to misinterpretation/error caused by any of a variety of things, vibration of the CD transport, background scattered laser light, magnetic fields, static electric charge, and others, even the color of the CD label.
Don’t be a digital denier. Join the thousands of happy campers who use vibration isolation, coloring of CD, beveling the edges of CDs, demagnetizers, static charge neutralizers, CD sprays, whatever they can think of to improve the sound. Don’t be an ostrich.
Don’t be a cube, rube, go ape!
