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?

The above postings thus far do not include anyone who has actually tried the stuff.
So here goes... (try to hold back the negative creative comments), I am only trying to give my take on the actual use of this product.

I have tried the ultra bit ,and it is great! Works so good that I wont play a CD now unless it has been treated.

The soundstage is wider, the bass deeper,tighter and the treble is more extended. Plus the discs are super shiny.
I dont understand the impedence thing , but the discs are definitly improved after treating.

Lately, I have been making compilations of artists onto CDR's. I treat both the original and CDR before copying. The CDR copy comes out outstanding!.

I am about 1/3 to 1/2 way thru a bottle and I have done maybe 60 Cd's.
The bottle will never do the 500 CD's as claimed.
