This is entirely from memory, so no guarantees to correctness.
CX encoding, from my understanding, was essentially similiar
to simple compression, approx 20db I think. The theory was that
people without decoders would notice little difference, and
that people with decoders, during expansion, would also lower
the noise floor for the disc, thus removing a lot of the surface
noise etc. 
It seems that this might have been good, way back in time, but
with CD's around, who cares?
