Error correction is not perfect but I believe the probability of it being correct is way higher than it being wrong. Just curious as to why you would not want to correct known errors?
Even if you perfect all the tweaky stuff relating to the transport the disc will still contain manufacturing errors where a certain percentage of pits will not be stamped correctly so errors are baked in - the beauty of the CD system is that it is tolerant of these faults to allow a low priced solution. Antithetical to the audiophile, I know.

Hang on, what if you could extract all the audio data on the CD in advance and check it against a database to ensure accuracy and then play that data? I think I'm on to something ...

We're definitely not on the same track. You are putting words in my mouth. I never said there were manufacturing errors. This is example of a logical fallacy. Come on guys, get it together. As far as pits not being stamped correctly you're grasping at straws. I already explained the issues, maybe go back and read slower. The only error in manufacture I'm aware of is that CDs are often out of round. But I didn't include that in my list of issues.

  You have 'written' there are issues but you haven't 'explained' any of them, especially not why turning off error correction is an advantage. Let's just leave it that you're misinformed until proven otherwise.

    I've only been discussing these issues with CD playback for ten or twenty years. Who's counting?There's a search engine here for a reason.
