OT: not even Russ Andrews

For the difference in reproduction we're talking about, the kind that can be supposedly affected by using one cable instead of another, I don't think you're going to find much difference when playing back Pavement, early Velvet Underground albums or Robert Johnson 78s.

The gut and the heart are more important than the ears.

indeed.

Well, with a very very few exceptions anyway.

Yebbut, Robert Johnson recordings are damn near unlistenable. Scratchy, screechy, you really don't want high fidelity when listening to them.

to the most useful application of the product - garrote. Can anyone give a heads up on that?

Diameter's too large to get a decent pressure going before the cable snaps. Next....

I thought that the desired effect was for the head to slump downwards

Mostly, but not entirely true. Apart from the DAC & filters, the DAC clock itself has to be stable and the CD player itself has to cope with a huge variety of CD quality, reflectivity, eccentricity and so on.

At the extremes, (i.e. the disc itself would have to be pretty poor), if the player's focus or tracking gets thrown easily, or the PLL loses lock easily then it's into error correction, or, at worst, error recovery. If it has to resort to the latter then lots of interpolation or error hiding can reduce the output quality, depending on how well the player corrects the errors.

Some people would love that (especially in conjunction with a funnel, a facemask and some rubber tube..)
