How can I improve my CD sound?

Anyone out there know the secret as to why I can't listen to cd's on any of my players I've tried or anyone elses either? What is interesting is that I can listen to FM, which is mostly CD's and I don't get the ear pain I get from mine. Why not a bother? Don't give me any easy answers. I've tried them more that likely. I've spoken to the engineers at many radio stations and they all tell me that they are not placing any "correction" electronics at their stations. Got to be an answer to this. Love to be able to to listen to them. Thanks, you guys!.

FM stations limit frequency response.
If I remember correctly 50-15000 is it. They have an SCA marker tone at 19000, so FM radios will never pass even close to that frequency.

You may want to try a decent power conditioner and make sure of NO ground loops / hum / noise in your system. Turn it up with NOTHING being played and you should get Zippo out of your speakers. Get an outlet tester....a few bucks at the local Home Despot. use it.

All those tweaks are the last things to try. You'll drive yourself nuts with tennis balls VS squash balls VS Edmund Scientific 'no bounce' balls (hi hysterisis)

Get the fundamentals right, first.
