By Harley. In this Stereophile article describes pretty much what you were suggesting: he tested a bunch of CD tweaks and measures for data errors and jitter. RH does an impressive amount of work, finds no measurable effects, but insists that the audible effects are real and that, therefore, there must be something else going on. Here's a quote:"From my measurements, it is apparent that none of these CD tweaks have any effect on a player's error-correction ability or on the amount of jitter in the HF signal. However, it is beyond doubt that they increase the musicality of CDs. Just as in analog audio, there are things going on in digital audio that have not been identified, but influence sonic characteristics."
