I found this site off the Hoffman Forum and there is some interesting info on new cd manufacturing (if real) and a BluSpec CD. Always something new going on.

"More specifically, it uses the Blue Laser Diode Cutting technology, which utilizes optimized optical fibers and blue laser to improve the quality of laser beam used to cut the CD master. The new technology allows for a more precise cutting at the micro-level. The second factor is the new high-polymer polycarbonate material which enables a very precise transfer of bits from the stamper to the CD.

The cumulative effects of these innovations are reductions in reading errors and jitter, which translates to human ears as more open, vivid, and realistic sound that is closer to the quality of master tapes. And, as with SHM-CD and HQCD, Blu-spec CD is 100% compatible with normal CD players."

Well let's hope the claims are real. It could however be the solution to problems that don't exist, especially in the light of what I hear from my CD player and Moon's latest.
