Rip CDs at Mach 2 on a Mac Pro

Is this really the limit for CD drives? Are you sure?

If so, rats! I was looking forward to a 128x CD drive... :-)

Rip CDs at Mach 2 on a Mac Pro

CD drives have been stuck at about 52X for five years or more now. It seems the one hope of making them faster is no longer a factor - Kenwood TrueX drives were very very fast, quiet, and achieved speeds of 72X plus by splitting the read laser and simultaneously reading something like 7 tracks' worth of data.
