Have I finally lost my mind?


Is it possible that the writing/art on the ‘top’ of CD’s is effecting the sound? Anything that spins has harmonic imbalances thus causing an error in the data and in turn effects the signal the laser is reading, right? Have I finally gone off the deep end or is there any possible truth to this- I noticed that hi-fi pressings often are very balanced and even bare in the art department. Some is of course simply a sticker or the like(hopefully being balanced- I hope) others have texture and tangible depth thus creating imbalances, surely it must! I have no clue why this crossed my mind today, though I am curious what others have to say on the subject- or has this been brought up before??

If it effects digital discs, I think it would effect anaolg discs (perhaps more so).
Ozfly, I think the digital correction inherent in CD play back and the fact that CD machines are designed to change speed in relation to the diameter of the section of the disc being read might offset these issues in ways that analog may not be capable of. Don't know for sure, just a guess.
