Has anyone out there tried/compared CD treatment products such as the Auric Illuminator or Essence of Music treatment? Any preferences or comments on these products?
Many Thanks! All- no doubt that there has always been hidden or buried music in both CD and SACD. We have much better technology to bring out and make available to our ears the true musical treasures buried in those bits. Hardware goes along way on our journey to musical nirvana.
FYI I found out that an application of EOM is long-lasting and is believed to offer a permanent improvement. I just treated a blueray of Sade but haven't played it yet. Apparently this is good for dvds also[which makes sense]. Cheers, bluenose
@Bluenose...Thanks for taking the time to respond. I haven't bought it yet...though I am extremely tempted to. The main thing that is holding me back at the moment is...My system is tilted to the top. Fullness and depth are 2 attributes I am seeking...however...I am trying to avoid adding more HF energy/extension to the overall presentation. I realize it's system dependent...but did you notice more HF energy/extension after treatment? Did SQ get crisper or sharper?
I've noticed that I'm hearing a lot more of the music that I was missing before. I've been playing discs I've heard numerous times and found that I didn't recognize some of the songs playing because they were so different. For the better. Likey more and more...
