CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

fleschler710 posts01-31-2019 1:53amWhat does the sticky tape tabs do to reduce laser light scatter?

>>>>The double sided adhesive holds the active NDM squares to the tray surface. The NDM squares is the active ingredient that absorbs/reduces background scattered laser light. The scattered light fills up the entire inside of the CD transport and the tray is a convenient place to put NDM, you know, being close to where the laser reads the data.

Does the tab have special properties?

>>>>>NDM has special properties inasmuch as it reduces ALL forms of scattered light, not only visible RED but invisible, I.E., infrared and other colors like BLUE. Thus, NDM also works for SACD, DVD, Blu Ray players. Hel-loo!

I use the Walker Talisman to reduce/eliminate static from CDs and LPs. CDs show immediate improvement upon use.

>>>>The Talisman affects the magnetic field, not the static charge.

In a Steve Hoffman forum, Machina Dynamica is ridiculed as hokum. I always thought it was an intellectual tweak parody.

>>>>Hey, what can I say? Machina Dynamica is real as a colonoscopy without anesthesia.

chakster, you are talking to the wrong crowd, they don’t listen to Vysotsky ...

Haha, i don’t listen to Visotsky, definitely not my type of music.

... and so cannot possibly even comprehend what you are saying.

Interesting, i guess anyone watched movies? This is a prime example of killer 70’s Jazz-Funk for "Serpico" movie with young Al Pacino. And another amazing recording from the 70’s is "3 Days Of the Condor" soundtrack, the original pressing on Capitol is spectacular in terms of fidelity. Make sure to skip youtube ad :) I like this type of music on LPs for home listening.  

Nor do they theoretically understand that for as long as humans are humans and not enhanced humanoids digital will never sound as good as analogue because there is a conversion and certain things are lost and distorted.

Totally agree

chakster, I didn't like your jazz funk. Vysotsky is so much better, it's not quite music, though, it's poetry accompanied by intentionally out of tune guitar.

Keep patting yourselves on the back, guys. You are mistaking smugness for smarts.

I am surprised, don't tell me you have russian roots too.
His poetry was pretty tought for its time and still today, my grand father wrote a book about him about 30 years ago. Anyway i hope you're kidding.
