TAS Recommended CD Tweak….


In The August issue of The Absolute Sound, RH gives a glowing review of a product from Digital Systems & Solutions – “UltraBit Platinum Optical Impedance Matching Disc Treatment System.” According to RH, he was floored and, “….This wasn’t a subtle difference; there was a wholesale increase in apparent resolution, space, clarity, soundstage dimensions, and vividness.”
Apparently, this is a liquid solution that is applied to CDs and DVDs ($65/bottle).

Regardless of the whole “advertising thing,” I don’t believe someone like RH would put his reputation on the line by giving a bogus review. I wonder what, “This wasn’t a subtle difference…” means to the average person’s ears?

Also, in the same article, RH makes the statement, “…Similarly, it’s incontrovertible that a CD-R burned from a CD sounds better than the original CD.” I did not know this. Have any of you come to the same conclusion?

Ozzy...

Did you purchase both the cleaner and the UltraBit solution, or just the UltraBit solution - do you clean your discs prior to adding the UltraBit??

There is quite a bit of online information regarding optical impedance matching. I guess my real skepticism has more to do with my own ability to perceive any difference. I’m one of the oddballs who can’t hear much (if any) difference in cables and tweaks. For only $65.00 I will try it though. I do not expect to hear any REAL improvements. However, there is always that possibility...

I'll let you know if I'm "floored!"
