The average audiophile can't do this is because the Reed Solomon codes are necessary for CD playback, generally speaking. They do have a reason for being there. One would have to have immaculate CDs, vibration isolation for transport/player, stabilize the disc somehow, etc. to even have a shot.

Ensure absolute level of CD, minimize scattered light problem, stabilize the disc. In short, not too many audiophiles would get good results by disengaging the RS codes, it would be a complete disaster - assuming they knew how to. Besides, why would he tell you? :-)
