First of all thanks to Stellebagpuss for a great compilation of great songs. I really enjoy all of it. I have to listen to the whole lathed disc from beginning to end using the Oppo DVDP. Beautiful clear sound. Listen to it another time before putting on the normal disc. This also made a beautiful clear sound. No obvious down grade in the sound quality. Might settle down for more intense comparison later.

Thought I repeat the thing with a better spinner. The Linn Karik played the normal disc perfectly. So was the first song with the lathed disc but there after it seem to stop and start like it is trying very hard to read the data.

Tried with the Tag DVD32R. This time the stupid thing couldn't even read the lathed disc. Spin a few times and said 'no disc detected'. Kind of expected as this is one bastardly fussy disc spinner I have ever own. Luckily the normal disc made a fantastic and beautiful sound with the normal disc. So just sit back and listen to the whole compilation again. Would be interested it you have the list of tracks handy. Great compilation.

I have not read the whole thread but anyone else have such problem with their lathed discs?
