From the comments comming back it would appear that there is

that all
cd transports/loader/lasers sound the same and by definition have the
same
abilities. This is far from the truth and not just a subjective
matter
as
you
are able to see the differences clearly on test equipment.

Have you discovered a new law of physics? Try reading "The Art of
Digital Audio" by John Watkinson. This explains why the transport is
physically unable to affect the sound unless there are uncorrected
errors reading the CD.

If you have evidence to the contrary then perhaps you could present
it.

Why do some cds produce more 'clatter' (physical noise) from the
transport
than others? And some cd players seem better at reading cds than others?
Is
this to do with the transport or error correction circuitry or what?
Incidentally, my best audio reader is a cheapo all in one panasonic.
