CD Cutting and / or Trimming


I haven't seen any discussion concerning this (although there probably has been a thread or two). I'd like to know what your opinions are regarding CD cutting (Trimming). Is it noticibly beneficial or is it just another opportunity to spend money.

I would add I have used the lathe for some time. We have demoed it with a number of friends blind (for what thats worth) and in every case, the lathed disc was preserved. I don't believe you can lathe an sacd however. It is not inexpensive. If you have more questions drop me a note

You may want to search out Sean on A'gon, I know he has a trimmer and will provide you with all you will ever want to know. I am pretty sure he is a proponent of them. Inexpensive? Not so sure, I think you are talking 5 bills at least.

As Matty stated, i have and use an Audio Desk Systeme, but not on every disc. If someone is interested, they can drop me a disc and i'll cut it for them. Just cover the shipping both ways. This works best if you have an IDENTICAL disc to compare it to.

For sake of clarity, you can't compare a disc purchased from BMG to a disc purchased at Best Buy. While the contents may check the same using a digital analysis, the discs ARE different from one another. We noticed this when trying to find identical discs to compare. The amount of "burned" space on a BMG disc was noticeably different from a non BMG disc. Whether or not there is an audible difference between BMG's and non-BMG's is a whole 'nother ball of wax that has already been discussed. Sean

you want to speak to buscis2. Ed is the specialist on this. I have heard a cd that he cut for me. Yes, it does make a significant difference. Am I willing to go through with it? No. He'll be on the 'gon, soon with his 2 (excellent) sense worth. peace, warren
