| Reviews with all double blind testing? Rouvin, bingo! Validity is the missing concern with DBTs. I also entire subscribe to your question about where DBTing fits into the reviews that audiophiles want. As I have said, I cannot imagine a DBT audio magazine.I am troubled by your comments... | |
| RCA Digital: Stealth, Pure Note, Cerious Try it is the operative word here. I have not tried the Pure Note, but did have the Stealth Sextet, Cerious Tech., and Omega Mikro, which was my reference. I use the Cerious Tech. now, but have friends who prefer the Stealth. I think much depends ... | |
| Liquid CD treatments? Listener, the Cleardisc and AudioTop both seem quite capable of removing previous treatments. The Vivid leaves something on the disc, wax I believe. It to is removed by both Cleardisc and AudioTop.Splaskin, I have not tried Shine-Ola but am not su... | |
| Liquid CD treatments? As always there is no consensus on this. My ranking is: 1) RealityCheck Cleardisk and Clearbit; 2) AudioTop Digital; 3) Ultra Vivid from Walker. I have tried quite a few more, but they are not as good. Cleaners definitely make a big difference. | |
| Mobile fidelity gold CDR vs Black CDR George Louis of RealityCheck says the life expectancy of his black cdrs is 300 years. I do not know how anyone knows how long black or silver cdrs last, however. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Jayctoy, I find the RealityCheck results far greater than these alternatives. I had been using them on originals for years, and although the improvements proved substantial, they were never of the level achieved here. Also more recently I have tri... | |
| Reviews with all double blind testing? Agaffer, I agree. I have participated in DBTs several times and have found hearing differences in such short term to be difficult, even though after a long term listening to several of the units, I clearly preferred one.I think the real question i... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Herman, great thoughts. Were I to have the equipment I would try it.Audioengr, I had two cds that would no longer play because of scratches. I did succeed in copying them using my computer. When I got the RealityCheck, I tried to copy one from the... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? disingenuous, strange to come from you! | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Thank you for your opinion as always. | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? Milpai,Having done 50 cds now, I am glad I bought the machine. I only wish that the cleaning process were not so tedious and so necessary. Patternlou, I would not go so far as to say that "stereo SACD is a dud," but I have only heard mc sacd under... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? I had one of the RealityCheck cdrs and original at the RMAF in the Exemplar suiite. | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Wow, Slothman, this is a very important posting based on very thorough testing. It sounds like George Louis has done his homework and reached the same conclusion as Mr. Koh. Some black cdrs are exceptional, cleaning with the right liquids is imper... | |
| How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck? Onhw61, you assume that cd manufacturers care what their cds sound like. I too do not understand what is going on in this process, but it may have some tie to cdrs not cds. It also may have some to do with cleaning cdrs and cds properly. Vincent S... | |
| Notice how many SACD collections for sale? Hififile, I have Take Five on 45 rpm LP and have done a RealityCheck copy. Both are better than my SACD. |
