    Incorrect. 2.3mm of a scratch can be error corrected. Up to 10 to 12mm is interpolated, (I don’t have the data numbers as yet) which is a guess, not music. What does this interpolation sound like? And we haven’t touched on RF noise entering the optical head, PSU noise, effective jitter reduction (noted in your link). Dutchclassics.nl noted both Philips and Sony engineers saying scuffs, scratches and fingerprints caused issues with the CDM. In 1982.

    Spiral upgrade system ™:

    Start with the source, buy the best you can afford, then the best amp, then the best speakers. When done find the weakest link and upgrade again to the best you can afford.

    Continue this process going forward.

    The spiral provides maximum performance, the slowest upgrade path, saves you money and frustration.

    Room treatment, research and add as needed.



  • I personally have not seen this occurrence in 45 years.

    Your ears will be fine.

    Some (rare) catastrophic fail might occur which will destroy all/part of the output transistors and blow both tweeters and if awesome enough fry the mids…the woofs should be ok… maybe.

    A long running joke is…the tweeters gave their life so the protection circuit/relay could live. 😬
