Lightbulb I think I found a way to test C2

I used the CD-Check disc from Digital Recordings, which has black stripes of various widths painted on the reflective side of the cd to simulate scratches of various lengths.

I then proceeded to rip this album with Plextor 12x10x32x SCSI / ASPI 4.6.xxxx => Lots of errors reported, but copy reported OK, Sounds perfect, even the last track with the biggest amount of error painted on the disc

I did the same with my Hitachi GD-7500 DVD-ROM (with supposedly inaccurate C2 info): lots of error reported by EAC, much slower rip, copy NOT reported ok -> Listenint reveals lots of artifacts even with the most narrow error strip track (track 2, which should be passed BY ANY cd player or it should be considered defective).

Any comments?

cheers,
Halcyon
