CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl

No problem hind end. In case you didn’t notice (as most wallflowers / flakes don’t participate, but only stalk, due to their lack of courage or intellect) this thread was the top thread for this forum for over one month. Maybe next time you can come up with a response that’s actually on topic and doesn’t make you look like a fool. Buh -bye. 

Digital never had a chance. As soon as the laser strikes the disc the game is over. The laser scattered light and the vibration and flutter of the disc prevent the real data from ever getting to the DAC. The sound quality is permanently degraded in the initial one millionth of a second and never recovers. And can never be recovered. It’s no wonder there’s been a continuous barrage of higher bit rates and sampling rates and “higher resolution” formats, upsampling, downsampling, remasters, all because the initial problems were never resolved. Hel-loo!

Geoff, When I rip a cd with EAC it compares my bits to the results that other people got when they ripped with EAC and my rip usually matches other people’s rips exactly. EAC reads the data on a cd at least twice and if the reads don’t match exactly, it reads the bits at least 16 times and if the bits don’t match exactly at least 8 times, it keeps on reading.

I may not have gotten all that exactly right, but how can EAC rip with such certainty if, according to you, a laser can never read a cd correctly.

I’m not sure that EAC rips perfectly every bit, maybe you or someone else knows what the level of resolution it operates at.

The answer to my question is not that EAC is a fraud.

That’s pretty much what we were told about CD players all along and CDs. That error correction corrects any errors and the laser tracking servo mechanism keeps the laser on track in the face of any wobbling or fluttering. In other words CD is perfect sound forever. If EAC works as you describe copies should be much better sounding than the original in terms of sound quality. If it’s only marginally better then I’d be suspicious. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.

Dear @geoffkait  : If I understand you are a seller of " something " about and that's why always through different threads when digital comes out you are present. 

If I'm rigth and you are a seller then the place for you and your seller mind belongs to the Agon advertasing  list. Don't you think?
