What are you all doing to modify your cds?

No brainer, 390 on Cam 2!!! (Though I prefer a 454)

Being a staunch hater and avowed enemy of the RIAA's current campaign to try to halt the march of progress, I am only purchasing LPs. 30 year+ old LPs only. Hopefully my tiny effort will help be like the tiny crack in the dike, that helps destroy the recording company evil, and washes the earth clean of it's pestilence!!!!
(but before I began this crusade, I used the geen edge trick, shined my Cds with AQ juice, I have a box of a hundred packets, about 50 left, and they are not for sale, and used the rings too.

Brian, nothing even comes close to a good running Chevy big block. It's too bad Chevy didn't build an AMX.

I know what you mean, Ed. Tough choice, particularly in the Summer. Now, a 454: that's a NO BRAINER...

Here's something that you might find interesting. While i do not agree with all of the contents or opinions expressed in this [url=http://www.digital-recordings.com/cdcheck/sensnd02.html]article about cd tweaks and error correction[/url], the technical aspects of any "tweak" that can be measured and show negative effects on data retrieval should be avoided. At least, that is my opinion.

After all, "error correction" causes the player to re-read the data time and time again until it can be read or for the player to "best interpret" the damaged data that it was able to pull from the disc. Either of them would be steps backward as lifting the data off the disc with as little corruption as possible is "probably" what most of us are after. Then again, it is possible that "error correction" results in a sonic presentation that some may find more pleasing on a personal basis. As such, the information presented boils down to personal interpretation and is of a subjective nature.

As far as "accuracy" goes, some "tweaks" ( performance enhancing devices ) are not "tweaks" so much as they are "corruptors" of the signal. I guess that one might like a "corrupted signal" just as one might prefer a specific "sonic flavour". Sean
