I found somethng similar, but my results vary somewhat. I seem to be getting non liner response from the whole process, where tracks positioned closer to the edge of the CD get more resolution than the tracks closer to the hole. I guess, it's because bits closer to the edge are exposed to higher linear speed. Difference is so significant that I can clearly detect it between the first and the last track without any DBT. However, when listening sequentially, differences are more subtle, but still discernable, so much so that even my wife sometimes comes from the kitchen (where she burns in all kinds of stuff) asking my why I keep listening those tracks close to the hole. That's why I'm not sure if I should invest in audiophile grade centrifugal force that would be able to defeat those pesky Newton's principals, or just get a big drill and drill out inner half of the disc. -- slimkid The sound stage will open up, bass will tighten and the imaging will improve. DVD performance will also increase substantially. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ slimkid's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8881 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=35788 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
