What in your mind represents real technological advancement.


To be a real advancement the technology must improve the sound quality. Just extending the bass or the high end can't be call an advancement if it doesn't sound better. If the bass goes " lower " but is muddy or the highs go higher but are " bright and forward and irritating " then that does not improve the listening experience. So the question is what improvements make a speaker more enjoyable to listen to.

It would in reality be physically impossible for the laser servo mechanism to keep up with the deviations of the laser from the nanoscale data spiral given (1) the extremely small width of the data track and (2) the lightspeed of the laser signal and (3) the extremely high speed of the CD rotation rpm. If you were able to view the spinning CD you would see it’s wobbling and fluttered like crazy. It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out the servo mechanism is too slow to be able to correct the dynamic motion of the CD. It’s like trying to ride a bull like Bodacious or Widow-maker. 🐂

The laser servo and Reed Solomon Error Correction codes are two of the biggest scams ever perpetrated on a gullible naive and unskeptical public.
I wish someone would develop an error detection/correction code that actually works. The Reed Solomon code doesn’t work. They must’ve got two old guys and told them to come up with something, anything. Plus the CD vibrates and flutters like crazy. Sorry, the laser servo mechanism is useless.
Getting getting rid of the very deleterious stray laser light that makes CDs sound thin, irritating, congealed, generic, smoothed over, rolled off, synthetic, compressed, zippy, unmusical, boring, digital, bass shy, bloated, two dimensional and like paper mache.
