How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Steve, does any computer directly duplicate from the hard drive? I guess I thought everything went in through the RAM and out through the RAM. 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
I still say that except for sacds, all of this will be moot as better direct playback from hard drives, such as the VRS system, become available.Having spent so much time doing tests with the RealityCheck, the Nespa, and the Cool Copy, I do not en... 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Steve, I suspect that duplication will soon be replaced by hard drives with USB2 connections.All I know about using computers, two Macs, to make duplicates suggests that the original RealityCheck's copies sound superior, even though I made the com...

Be166, no the unit you show was supposedly the same as the RealityCheck unit. It looks like the cheaper Cool Copy has forced this company to further reduce the price.I must say that the unit you show "looks like" the Reality Check, but to my knowl... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
I have heard of such mods but am unlikely to try them as I think discs will soon all be put on to hard drives with a USB dac playing them. I have pretty good reasons to suspect that duplicate benefits to not pass to the hard drive. I would not be ... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Leec, I grant that using the RealityCheck cleaners and duplicator, which copies at a much slower rate than even the Cool Copy's Raw Disc copy, takes much time. But knowing how much better the discs sound drives me to doing the entire process. I ha... 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
I Nespaed another original and then copied it only to Nespa the copy. This was a Basie big band cd. This time the double Nespaed disc was better than where only the copy was Nespaed. How do I predict when double Nespaing will be better? I don't kn...

I think the Raw Copy 8x sound better than the 52x Copy Disc. Like you I was surprised that anyone liked the 52x version but it is better than I can get at that speed on my Mac. 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Steve, I, of course, have not tried the 8500, but I cannot agree with you about the benefits of Nespaing the original and the copy. I actually preferred just Nespaing the RC copy. Nespaing the copy of the Nespaed original did not change my opinion... 
Let's add a Spell Check to Audiogon
You are write, this blue in out of the blew. Sorry! 
Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?
Okay, Puremusic, I have done some comparisons that might interest you.I used a cd by Nnenna Freelon called Live. She has a great voice and the backup is very driving. Also being live there is a clear sense of space. I had already made a RealityChe...

Audioengr, I found your observations interesting but lacking in evidence. Why do the Mitsui's will last a LOT longer? Why is your cleaner superior?I am sorry that I missed your demonstrations at CES.

Weather you get a benefit from a spell check depends on witch one you use. Some are a waist of time.

Jfz, you are probably right about breakin. I am just not accustomed to thinking about computer related equipment breaking in. We also need to focus on isolating it. 
How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?
Rhirsch, I finally got my CoolCopy. My first unit was destroyed by UPS. This one was double boxed.I do not find the CoolCopy discs that I have done thus far to be the equal of the RealityCheck copies. In both cases I have used RC black cd-rs. I al...
