比较的内容不同，省略what，类似的结构在一题的题干中有体现
What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era.
省略sound
时态（正确选项是省略结构）+是否有歧义（正确选项是不能省略结构），可以作为解题的依据和参考
结论：than省略后的成分是什么，如果是能引起歧义的成分如某些情况下时间状语，such as “ten years ago”，则不能省略。
What was as remarkable as the development of the compact disc has been the use of the new technology to revitalize, in better sound than was ever before possible, some of the classic recorded performances of the pre-LP era.
这个问题very confusing. 楼主有没有想过为什么than之后省略了主语，另外这个主语是谁。

in better sound than sound was ever before，引用这个例子的这个插入结构来阐述主题。句子主语the use of the new technology。
至于为什么省略sound? 主语一致为了简洁吧。
类似大全956中，than后面的what被省略
我一直在研究More than结构里，直接把名词前置形容词变成比较结构的比较形式。
一般的比较形式：a sound is better than the sound was before 没有问题。
但是如果：
It's a better sound than was ever. 补全变成 It's a better sound than (sound) was than ever.
这里比较结构前后不平行。sound在前一句里做表语，后一句里做主语。语法上能否补全？
再比如
More people live in China than in Japan. 可否补出 More people live in China than those in Japan.
比较或者平衡结构 是要结构或者逻辑的平行，It's a better sound than was ever.这句里要比较的是sound而不是It's a better sound。
More people live in China than in Japan. 补全应该是 More people live in China than those do in Japan吧。
