Audio Selection Bitstream vs Auric Illuminator

We just used Audience Auric Illuminator intead of Audio Selections Bitstream as the Bitstream seems to be unavailiable in the U.S.

Go figure, Audience produces high end quality products and the Auric Illuminator is no exception.

Combined with the Audiodesk Lathe, the results were stunning.

Does anyone know of other products that can have such a large effect with CD performance??

There have been a bunch of good CD treatments over the years including Auric Illuminator, also Jena Labs' fluid the name of which escapes me, Nanotech 8500, Optrix and of course Xtreme AV Liquid Resolution and about fifteen others that shall remain nameless.

When you rip a CD the effectiveness of the rip is a function of how well the CD laser reads the disc, just like it is in real life when you play the CD. so, that's why following whatever regimen one uses for playing CDs when ripping them is a very good idea. Things like EOM, demagnetizing the disc, coloring the disc, ionizing the disc, beveling the disc, etc. All of these things will improve the rip.
