How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?


In my opinion this one the greatest improvements in audio in 40 years. AA is full of discussions about it, but there has been nothing here. Maybe that a $575 tweak is beyond Audiogoners?

- a follow-up. George 2.0 is taking the world by storm! I've made 5 copies of my discs my way and have sent them to Mr. Louis. He is making copies of the same originals his way, then sending the whole shmear back to me. I should have all of it back next week.
I have been running a Gary Koh-type burner rig for about a year. In my mind, there is no doubt the discs are better sounding. Other systems and their owners have sided with me on this. Mr. Koh's Melody discs are not available in the US, though I've had good luck with Mitsui Golds and Memorex Blacks.

Recently, I burned 5 well-recorded discs and sent them, along with the originals, to Mr. Louis. George copied my originals to the same type of blanks, using his process, listened, took notes, then sent all of it back to me.

So now, I have 5 originals, 5 copies the Gary Koh way, 5 copies the George Louis way, and George also sent me 5 of his Onix black discs to burn my way to compare. Whew!

I haven't had time to compare yet. I'll definitely get around to it this weekend and report back. With the toil it took to get the dedicated burner together, I'm leaning toward RealityCheck as a better answer for most people. It's plug-and-play after all.

For now, I'll just say Georges discs sound very good indeed. I'll need to spend some more time before I'll go further.
airy - Pertaining to treble which sounds light, delicate, open, and seemingly unrestricted in upper extension. A quality of reproducing systems having very smooth and very extended HF response. (Stereophile Glossary)
