Hmmmm. “Narrow bits” - those must be the ones, no, the THINGS that fall between the ones and zeroes. Halfsies?
Ah, good call @jimmers . That's the thing I'm still learning about this silly hobby: anybody can post anything. I like the look of the 6000CDT. The pricetag is a bit steep for me. I also like its user-replaceable laser cartridge. I have some old CD and DVD spinners from old PCs. I wonder if the mechanisms still work.... Hmm.
Catching up on the thread this morning and this quote made me laugh out loud and, sadly, splutter some lovely Peace Coffee Sumatra all over my laptop keyboard ... That said, I have read (from others) that that transport is well regarded. Much as I would like to replace my aging player, I'll hold out and wait for Mike's offering ...
That's because cables are tubes, and larger chunks of data have more friction along the tube walls, causing the tubes to heat up and the smaller chunks to bunch up and create congestion ("noise.") It's like physics only different.
You obviously need some High Fidelity Cables with "Magnetic Conduction" technology https://www.highfidelitycables.com/
Playing with dose and grind is blowing my mind. 19.5g at 1.5 was getting astringent so I tightened it up to 1.0 and reduced to 18.5 and wow was the result tasty. Reduced to 17.5 though and the sweetness was gone. This is a hell of an art.
