RE: Damping CD Laser-Reader /Track more rewarding than CD treatments

Duster,

I concur. The relationship between the same IDENTICAL zeroes/ones in the bits/bytes from the recorded music is inevitably degraded by the processing journey from the digital source through capture to storage and play.

Exposure to component electrical wiring and jitter processing issues disrupt their precise timing relationship and other forms of corruption degrade their reproduction for musical definition, detail, and tone. That said, after subtly damping the laser-reader and track, listening to RCA Victor's 1992 Red Seal DDD recording of Janos Starker playing Bach's Suites for Solo Cello transports me back 38 years right to the center of the live music as though present at The American Academy of Arts and Letters, NYC, during the June performances recorded by Tom Lazarus.
