Bevel My Edges Baby
Audiophiles, do you find the musical fidelity of your CDs lacking? Does your soul yearn for the pure analog joy of the wax cylinder? Perhaps the problem is that your CDs are not circular enough. But take courage! For a shade under a G you can amend this horrible affliction, and start enjoying life again.
Yep. Eine Deutsche company called Audio Desk is selling these sweet babies for the not-a-rip-off-at-all sum of $899. The device uses a sharpened tungsten carbide blade — no wait, burin; blades are for cheapskates — to bevel nothing less than a perfect 36 degree angle onto the edge of your discs. This minimizes light scatter which of course results in “pronounced improvements in focus, transient attack, detail and transparency”.
Personally, my focus is pretty tight, but I always suspected my transient attack was awry. Well, not any more, at a price like that I can afford one for every one of my mansions.
