Re: When the build quality jibes with the sound quality

>>As stated before, - there is a reason why: in that the magnesium disc/platter is the same size as a CD. It is PART of the motor. It grabs a super tight grip on the CD and prevents it from wobbling. This results in less read errors, and that results in more info getting to the rest of the player...<<

I'm a firm believer that the transport needs to be of good quality, but I have to point out that this was the same philosophy Pioneer stated for their Stable Platter transport. In theory, it would result in less read errors and more info getting to the rest of the player. In practice, it wasn't any better at these tasks than quality spindle-based transports.

I note that Stereophile found the VRDS NEO-equipped X-01 to have "...jitter [that] is significantly higher than the best modern components...."
