I was being a bit facetious. When I read it was appreciated by educated listeners that raised a flag and then it wasn't available to the general public that raised the flag a bit more that this could appeal to those susceptible to the King's new clothes effect.
Obviously, I haven't heard it so take my comments in that context. I am interested in CD transport tweaks as they should be objectively provable: they must either allow the transport to read data correctly where it was incorrect before, they the lower jitter of the recovered data or they allow the transport servos to track more easily and so draw less current that might couple noise into the analog domain. If you're using a separate transport that pretty much rules out the last one, I think the effects of jitter are way overblown and who knows whether the data off the disc in real time is truly correct (though that must be provable). My inner engineer thinks that if you perceived an issue with reading CDs and invented a solution (pun intended) to fix that issue that you would also do something to prove it had worked rather than just say it does! And wouldn't proof help sales? But that never happens :(
And, or course, it's always good to bait Geoff Kait. Hey - that should be a t-shirt!
