Changes to the Watt/Puppy System 8
New Tweeter with new crossover. Changes to the materials used in the Watt as they are no longer using lead inserts. 
Will computer to DAC replace transports and cdp's?
My recent experiments with the computer and a USB DAC have proved to me the superiority of the computer model for playback of CDs. There is no going back for me.Steve 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Yes, it depends on the software you are using. Most programs utilize a memory buffer that has data streaming in and out to the burner. The idea behind the buffer is to prevent the burner from running out of data.Steve

John,I am not selling anything. Just an audiophile having fun with some computer knowledge. I build my own computers. The latest one was optimized for CD-R burning based on my experiences with two other computers. I got into this because I felt an...

My technique is a bit different. I am placing the entire contents of the CD into RAM and burning directly from the memory. The RAM is faster than a hard drive and I believe less subject to timing errors.Steve

My quest has been fun as I am a computer enthusiast. And yes, the future is pointing in the direction that you suggest.Steve

Norm,Burning on the fly results in better copies than burning from a hard drive. I have avoided the computer burn issue as it is complicated and results will vary considerably depending on hardware. The success of the computer burn is dependent on...

Look at the duplicator specs. There is no magic in CD duplication. More memory does make an improved copy.The better duplicators now offer 128MB of memory compared to the Acard's 8MB. Better drives such as the Plextor 716A reduce jitter and make b... 
remyo 777 does not play certain cd-r
I have never found a CD-R or CD that my Reimyo CDP-777 could not play. Perhaps there is a problem with the drive. I would contact the American distributor, May Audio for help.Steve 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Last Sat. we treated a CD ( previously treated with RealDisc and ClearBit on the rim) with the Nespa. We then burned RCCD CD-R. Compared to a pre-Nespa version, the Nespa version was improved. RCCD and Nespa work well together.Steve

The ClearDisc cleans off the old ClearBit. The RealDisc is applied to the original CD and ClearBit on the rims of the original CD. The CD-R is treated with RealDisc on the surfaces and rims; ClearBit on the surfaces only.It Works!!!!

ClearDisc is now used to clean off previous applications of ClearBit on the origianl CD. RealDisc is far superior to ClearDisc. ClearBit is now used on the rims of the origial CD, and the surfaces of the CD-R, but not the rims. Confusing? Not real... 
Liquid CD treatments?
I found the RealityCheckCD Cleardisc and Clearbit combination to be superior to Shine Ola. Steve

Tbg has raised a very interesting point. The Acard unit displays their version of the software, not Geroge's version. Where is George actually programming the unit's software on the Acard?Has anyone ever tried using an Acard duplicator not purchas...

Hi George!The Revelation Audio Labs cables are wonderful, especially the phono cables. Several of my friends in San Diego are using them now. They were reluctant to try them at first due to their reasonable cost. I have no inner compulsion to try ...
