Theoretical question about how CD's work

mapman
No reason to argue about how CDs work. It’s pretty well documented. Books are still an inquiring mind’s best friend.

>>>>Ah, good one, moopman! The old Skeptics Society chestnut. 🌰 Since everything is known and can be found in Wikipedia or some online textbook we can dismiss any inconvenient arguments as not worthy of examination. Bravo, moopman!

Just for emphasis, anyone who thinks he’s listening to all the information that’s on the disc is badly mistaken. The scattered light problem itself without even going into any of the other problems associated with CD playback accounts for an apparent loss of at least 30% to 50% of performance, in terms of bass articulation and slam, treble performance, air, resolution and size of the soundstage, signal to noise ratio, dynamic range, distortion, compared to the case where scattered light is controlled. It’s not even close, gentle readers. Geez, even a green pen around the outer edge gives a glimpse of what you can get if you control all the scattered light, not just the visible red portion. Hel-loo! 

Geoffkait actually you are clearly the skeptic here. Don’t be such a sad sack! Why don’t you write a book and enlighten the world further then smart guy? I’m sure there are enough neurotics out there you can appeal to to make it a big seller and help your business.

Apparently mapman’s butt is still stinging from something I said. Get well soon, Moops.

Geoffkait- I have a CD transport the "47 labs shigaraki" the CD sits on top of the player out in the open, do you think this helps with the scattered light problem?


Thanks, TISH
