Technical competence
<<A CD player reads a single circuit on a CD and the sum of all the bits on that circuit doesn't match the checksum stored at the end of that circuit then it will skip. All oversampling CD players do is attempt to read the circuit a number of times in an attempt to get it correct before actually playing it, they will also skip if unable to match the checksum.>>
Oops, indeed I should keep this sort of shite in the comfort of my own home. This was more of a reply to the original point about CD's sounding worse was made by one Cateran of Glasgow who's got a strange fetish about taking the piss out of people who aren't as "knowledgable" as he is on matters technical, which I'd say is pretty sad for a 35 year old. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
