BOC: Gold Agents

[Craig Shipley]

A. Yeah, but you can't see 'em when they are spinnin'  'round in the ol' CD
player ('less, of course you have a k00l transparent lid or something on
your CD player!)
B. Yup, the 24K AU substrate will not oxidize ("rot" or "bronze") like an
aluminum substrate can.
C. Yup, they DO sound better, but not because of the gold itself. Generally,
the master tapes are used and are re-mastered for a CD instead of a cassette
or LP. THIS is the real improvement, as the masters have less tape hiss,
they are (generally) multi-track recordings that can be tweaked, etc. for
the best possible sound.
D. Yup, but if it is a CD that you love, it is well worth the price!! (Or,
if you don't have the CD to begin with, what is another ten bucks or so? "A
six of Laughing Skull Bohemian Pilsner and a frozen plain pizza,
numbnuts!!")

NP: Nothing, I'm in the process of remodeling my office and everything
(except this computer) is down!!
