Reaction to : Bedini-Ultra Clarifier II

To my ears, the use of a Bedini Ultra Clarifier has resulted in a blacker background ( lower noise floor ), more "liquid" midrange and a more natural presentation.

My Brother borrowed mine and took it to his house. His opinion was that it lowered the noise floor and produced a more liquid midrange.

Neither of us thinks that the results are "in your face" blatant, but they are noticeable if you pay attention. Given that the results of "Bedini treatment" are rather subjective, i would try to buy one used or borrow one on a trial basis. If you can't hear a difference, don't waste your money. Sean

Dennis: I agree with your findings 100%. The instructions with the hand-held Bedini Clarifier state that you should allow the CD to spin for about 10 - 15 seconds with that model. Doing so does nothing in my opinion.

Since the desk-top "Ultra Clarifier" version spins the disc for just over a minute in length, i tried that with the hand-held version. The results were similar to using the Ultra Clarifier. The only problem with doing so is that you have to manually hold the trigger button for that length and the batteries don't last too long. As such, i adapted mine to make use of a toggle switch and converted it to accept a "wall wart" power supply. While one might wonder why i would "need" two of these, i have them set up near different systems as a matter of convenience. Sean

My experience is that markers increase reading errors and do nothing beneficial for sonics. Like any other tweak, use them at your own risk. Sean
