... is the Audio Desk Systeme CD Sound Improver.
It works (or, is said to work) by bevelling and resurfacing the edges of CDs, changing the way stray light is reflected into the internals of the CD player via the edges of the CD during playback.
Also, by trimming and *balancing* the edges of the rotating mass (the CD) more perfectly than is done during normal manufacturing processes, the CD is able to spin more smoothly and with less wobble, so that it is wiggling around a bit less as the laser is trying to read it. We get the tires on our car balanced for smoothness during operation, so why shouldn't we balance our CDs for smoothness of operation? Those of us who own top loading CD players like the Rega Planet can see that CDs do not always spin smoothly. Some CDs are better balanced than others are due to slight manufacturing inconsistencies. The Audio Desk Systeme is designed to correct for some of these inconsistencies.
