RE: It's not that complicated

Good thought, so with your CD player, how much can you lift one side without hearing a change. A sheet of paper, a business card, a thin magazine??

Now, have a friend change the spacing while you face away and at what thickness can you hear it now?

When you said " I realized something was very wrong with CD technology a long long time ago. " is this the show stopper flaw you were speaking of?

Somewhere i have an old Sony disc-man that let you play a disc while you were jogging or whatever (i was more whatever).

It was able to do that because it had an especially agile head which could adjust focus very quickly AND it had a good size buffer (a guess would be maybe 2K samples) and variable speed drive so that the rate coming in could have short interruptions or bursts while a separate clock'd output reads to the next stage to the output.

Modern home units don't have to have that level of immunity but if they don't it isn't because they couldn't. Many home CD players are also DVD and or Blue ray players, the precision required to read those tiny pits is much greater than CD and the electronics much faster. Would the same flaw be present there or is it the disc itself?
