For $400, you'd think they could varnish all the wood and maybe not mangle the screwheads.

I'm sure the varnish or stain would something, something, something, SOUND STAGE, something.

Do audiophiles do DAT? I seem to remember the format not lasting very long.

Techmoan has a new video about it:

This reminds me of snobbish Youtube electronic reviewers resorting to racist scorning of Chinese made oscilloscopes that has 95% of the quality at 10% price of the branded version.

He's not in like Flynn, is he?

I still refuse to believe this was ever a thing, it's just toooooooo stupid.

This was a thing back in 1986 when I got my first CD player.

“Everyone says it does” doesn’t strike me as the best standard of proof.

Is that like Fox News' "Some people say..."?

I have about 700+ CDs that I ripped and keep the originals in these faux-aluminum cases. The hanger thingies hold two discs.



I have two and they take up only about 1.5 cu ft.

As for the inserts/booklets, I use 5x7 photo sheets with a piece of paper in each slot. That allows me to store four sets per page. I have six of these binders.



I ditched nearly all of the jewel cases excepts for digi-packs or any special cases. I keep box sets (about a dozen) in their original boxes on a shelf.

poo poo's incredible. I had no idea this thing existed but when I saw the thumbnail I thought for sure it would be turning the actual surface of the CD like you can do with brake rotors, to remove the scratches and what not. When he read what the actual "solution" was that was pretty :eyepop:

I remember hearing about using a green magic marker on the edge back when I first starting buying CDs in the mid-80s and knew that it was a stupid idea.

So THAT'S why my CDs sound so bad. They're magnetized!

Loudspeaker or fire suppression equipment?

Something from a 1940s sci-fi movie.
