Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?


I'd be interested in your experience, including whether you have compared it with the Reality Check, used it in conjunction with the R Check, with fluids, etc. Thanks

Just got my unit this week. WOW, it really works. Bass is tighter, top end cleaner and more transparent, a big improvement all around. I had to pay full retail but once heard it is well worth the price of admission!
Actually I have a RealityCheck duplicator. Yes I do like it but it's the biggest pain in the ass to use. First you have to clean both the original CD and then clean the CDR, then copy it then make a lable, a VEY time consumming job. I'd rather be listening to music, that's what's it all about, correct? The Nespa is simple and quick, for the very short time I've had the unit, it is fantastic, I've even used it on my black duplicated CDR's and heard improvements, but I think I'll stop using hte RealityCheck unit and just Nespa all CD's and get back to listening.

After talking to the importer of the Nespa, he's sold now 50 units, there is a 3 week wait now for more, I would think there are now more Nespa units out there than RealityCheck units. My own RealityCheck unit will not be used for a long time.

John, I've only Nespa'd the RealityCheck CD's AFTER they were made, thinking this would give me the most bang for the buck, and it was a wonderful improvement even after the copy was made. Still, at this time, not duplicating any more RC copies, just blasting them with the halogen light and enjoying muzic as it should be.........
OK, this took some time but I made 4 RCCD's: One of the black CDR's was Nespa'd before making the copy, one was never Nespa'd the 3rd was Nespa'd before and after and the 4th Nespa'd only after it was RealityChecked! Got this so far. The best sounding of all was the one that was Nespa'd after it was copied via the RealityCheck process. Nespaing (a new word now) a blank CDR before it was copied, did not have the openess and bass control that a copied RCCD/Nespa CD had. This was not subtle.
Still, as in my previous posts, I'm enjoying just zapping each CD with the Nespa unit and forgoing using the RCCD process, yes it's better doing all but the difference and time it takes is just not worth it, IMHO, yours may differ, or you have a lot of free time.
Enjoy, hope this has helped.
So I've now stopped making Black copied CDR's, instead I'm just using the Nespa unit BUT cleaning the CD 1st with this new cleaning fluid from Japan (from the makers of the Nespa) called Intron #8500 Protect. Best cleaning and CD treatment yet. I was told by many it was special but that was an understatement. Anyone else try this cleaning fluid?
Tbg, I sold my RealityCheck dup, bought a CC dup but have found just Nespaing at the 30 then again at the 120, is all I need. Yes, a copy "can" sound better but then I don't have the time to LISTEN and isn't that what it's all about?
PS: Forgot, another must is cleaning your CD's with a good cleaner, I've tried most and have settled on this fluid made by the makers of the Nespa unit called Intron Protect #8500. It's quick and easy to put on and sounds better than the original fluid by Mr Louis, that 2 step process was a pain......
Tgb,
So you must have used your Nespa on many discs now, I value your thoughts (even though I know what I hear) please tell us how much of an improvement you hear after a light treatment?

This weekend my wife and I had 3 couples over for dinner. All non-audiophiles but they know about my passion, or obsession as they call it. We were listening to a CD and after 5 minutes I stopped it, I forgot to Nespa it> They asked what the hell I was doing and I said just wait. After a 60 cycle blast I inserted the CD again and the reaction was wow! Especially the woman. They said the top end was easier on the ears, no more, and this is where it's strange, they couldn't discribe it just they now thought an edge was gone, sounded cleaner and more relaxed. One even suggested more dynamic, although they described it as seeming to go softer but louder all at the same time.
Just thought I'd share this experience, I hope this thing never burns out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
