About CDs did you know they binary code is pressed onto the polycarbonate disc and yes a fine powered lubricant is used which does go into the surface layer , a product the cable company sells called Art de sone. You sprayon not messy and wipe off removes the residue and alllows the laser to read better
and music sounds for sure cleaner, and I do thisalso before ripping a disc .
you can hear the difference .
one thing for sure I experimented with a properly burned in copy sounds better
then the original copy especially when using top blanks like a maxel blue color
cd. ,why forburning the code in ismuch more defined and easier for the laser to read and theblue make up allows less light scatter. It isnoticably better sounding
but a pain in the butt considering I have everything on a Solid State drive.
i have proventhisto others Many timesin the past .today I just look for quality
remasters and apply the Art de son to everydisc before I rip it
and use either Wav, or the highest uncompressed #8 on db power amp
for ripping which is a great program and great for converting any disc format
even from DSD to high quality standard if your player don’t read DSD recordings.
