I was in search of "vinyl like" sound from my CDs. It was driving me to try some desperate things only an audiophile would do. We call them tweaks, the rest of the world calls them stupid...
I scattered my CDs all over the driveway, and began to walk on them, and even jump and down on some that I felt were especially poor sounding. Scuffed up the playing surfaces pretty good. Yes, I was able to emulate the ticks, pops, and skips, but it still didn't have that overall relaxed, easy to, natural sound of a good old fashioned record. I heard concrete is more effective than asphalt, but I haven't had time to try it yet...
