Techmoan | Shaving Compact Discs to improve the sound (?!) @Techmoan | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 2 days ago
Today I'm using a special lathe that cuts a 36º edge into a CD to improve the sound quality. Is this madness...I aim to find out. You might also like this video about demagnetising CDs youtu.be/mH4v8b1tGSQ
V.FAQ… Q) Why didn’t you just rip the CDs into the computer?
A) Because I wanted to use a regular Audio CD player. Since the improvements claimed related to audio produced during CD *playback* (at 1x), this is what I chose to concentrate on.
Snopes has an entry regarding the use of green edge markers to prevent ‘light scatter’ snopes.com/fact-check/bewaring-of-the-green
ONE SLIGHT CORRECTION to this video…
The Dave Brubeck Hybrid SACDs I bought cost me £5.69 each - not the £8.50 I mentioned in the video. So that’s a bit of a bargain. If anyone is interested here’s an AFFILIATED LINK to the discs I ordered. amzn.to/3e7N3DS However I can’t guarantee you’ll receive SACDs like I did. Note - my discs were ‘Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L.’ -

Regularly asked question
Q) Why are there comments from days ago when this video has just gone live today?
A) Patrons patreon.com/techmoan usually have early access to videos. I'll show the first version of a video on Patreon and often the feedback I get results in a video going through further revisions to improve it. e.g. Fix audio issues, clarify points, add extra footage or cut extraneous things out. The video that goes live on youtube is the final version. If you want to see the videos early too, you can sign up to Patreon here: patreon.com/techmoan
