In the case of "pre-echo" on a CD, you have to be talking about a CD
made from an analog master. If the master were digital, the print through
would have been ignored by the digital process. This is <the> <great>
advantage of the digital process. Signals are recorded as binary pulses.
A noise pulse has to be very large -half the size of the true pulse-
before it makes any difference. This is why digital media (e.g. CD or
tape) are so noise free. Of course if the "noise" gets comparable with the
signal in amplitude, then things go to hell.
