AND.... if science didnt progress.. i suppose the CD player as invented by Sony
and Phillips back in the 80's would be the same as it is today? Well, science
"learned" that they could be made better by eliminating jitter. Until
discovered, no one knew about jitter. I really think its an insult to the
intellience of most audiophiles to think that marketing alone accounts for all
the diversity of CD players and other components including wire. Some of it is
undoutedly snake oil.. but alot of it is also genuine progress. If we knew all
we needed to know about CD players, "perfect sound forever" would'nt be an
oxymoron now. -Bob Bernstein.
