bear with me and read all of this....

A few years ago, all the rage in CD audio was “greening” The purported theory was painting a green magic marker line around the edge of a CD would keep the “light from leaking” and give better sound. Every one jumped up to endorse it, several music professionals talked about how much better it sounded, a quote attributed to One Derrick Herron of Audio Alternative in Portland OR, stated
“(Greening) is absolutely spectacular. I just did it to a Great White CD and was absolutely amazed. You’d think that the digital recordings would improve the most, but on Phil Collins’ Face Value, an analog recording, I was flabbergasted-literally astounded”

From The Greening of America, CD Style, J.D. Considine Baltimore Sun, April 1990

(Memo to Mark S…. that is called a citation, and using them when you quote another person’s written work will give you some protection from getting sued for copyright infringement, just thought you needed to have that explained, GBE)

This theory was around several years, all kinds of supposed “experts” talked about how good it was, some even came up with the “best color” to use (an Eberhard-Faber Design Art #225) for best results. It was all the rage and an accepted truth. Then one day one of the guys who developed CD technology saw it. (another note to Mark S, by “developed” we here mean he actually took part in making an idea a product, he knew how it worked and all that stuff. We’re NOT using the meaning of the word “developed” in the sense that you understand it, GBE)
Being someone who knew better, well, CDs were pretty new back then, not a lot of people didn’t understand that digital was a series of binary responses, yes-no, off-on, 0-1 etc… that in fact, the reader either gets the signal and you get perfect sound, or you don’t get the signal, and the CD skips, those are your only two options. Light does not leak around the edges of a CD, and an Eberhard-Faber Design Art #225 will not make your CDs sound any better. In fact, the solvent in a magic marker will slowly dissolve a protective coating on the disc and ruin it.

Just thought I’d bring this up, and let you take from it what you will.

And I thought you were going to come out with some new revilutionary transmision

I get the point, im just curios what it is exactly your reffering to.

 

Oh and im kinda leaning with vinny, if this is a specific item your reffering to, i think it might be a pcm related item?

 

So should I wait and not buy that new thing that Ive been reading OH so much about, yet it sounds so good?



You cant leave us hangin....if you know something others dont...you gotta share. Its a forum rule!

I think I understand what is implied, but I am not sure exactly what is going on
