I just finished reading Clark Johnsen's Positive Feedback article titled "The Biggest News You May Ever Read (About Audio)." In it, Johnsen discusses a method of re-recording CDs developed or discovered by a fellow, George Louis, operating under the guise of a company called Digital Systems & Solutions. The re-recording, using Louis' "alogorithm codes," evidently improves the sound of an original cd, and as Johnsen would have it by not a subtle degree. Johnsen calls the improvement "the most astonishing single improvement in sound I have ever experienced." He also suggests the process elicits "master tape-type quality from Redbook CDs."
Has anyone any experience with what Johnsen is talking about? Investigating his claims will be easy enough, which I plan myself to do. I'm wondering if anyone has a sense of what might be at play in Louis' re-recording process. Comments anyone? |

Very interesting , thanks for the links :)
I don't see much interest in this topic so far.
I remember reading some year ago about some guy who made the research on JITTER topic.
He realeted that under some circumstances the Jitter can be canceled from the original CD copying it a number of times.
He claimed that for every CD there is optimal number of copies (copy from the copy...etc) that has to be made to cancel the jitter totally and release the true sound of the original recording.

zygibajt,

| I have one copied CD in my possession. It has a very noisy eye-pattern and sounds more "digital" than the original. (The eye-pattern is the signal coming from the laserhead before it is processed in the player making it "bits" again.):rolleyes: |

Possibly. And possibly a real improvement. Darn, if only everything were knowable beforehand. |

Just a PC, Pentium I suppose. |

| Someone still has to explain to me that "jitter on the CD" thing (as opposed to "jitter at the DAC in the CD player") and how it affects sound quality. |
