Why did it take so long

For digital to finally come of age. It seems that we are finally extracting the full potential of digital. Why did it take over thirty years for them to realize it wasn’t the failure of the cd, but the failure to properly recover all the information off it correctly?

Steve, Sorry to hear you haven’t had much luck. I guess that’s the way the cookie crumbles. 🍪 Good luck in your future endeavors.

Nothing to do with luck.  CD tweaks are minimally effective.  Reclockers make a huge difference.  The measurements prove it.

Really? How did you measure the Silver Rainbow Foil? The Green Pen? Demagnetizer? Just curious.

Steve, have you experimented with putting the SM device between a streamer ( with s built in DAC) and an external DAC? If so, what was the result?

You are not just curious, you want to disprove everything I say here.  I'll respond anyway:

I have the same disk here with and without treatments, including most of these tweaks, but even more important, I have the same disk with the rubberized coating and without. The one that makes the biggest difference. I can easily hear the difference and measure the difference.
