While it's possible that some fault with the system is producing some effects. However, the problem with the theory of mysterious intervention is that results of treating CDs by coloring, demagnetizing, reducing static fields, using cleaners and optical enhancers, etc. - including treating them before ripping - are repeatable for systems of different types and different manufactures. One can cling to the bits is bits theory only so long in the face of 100% or more improvement to the sound. There is a red line between the uber skeptics and the experimentalists.
CD Tweeks...Improve Ripped SQ?
Hi All,
I'm seriously considering coming over to the geek side of music playback. :-}
All of my shinny polycarbonate and aluminum platters have had CD treatment done to them.
The process I use is:
1) Optrix Cleaner
2) Audio Desk CD Lathe with black edge marker
3) Nespa Pro 30sec treatment
4) Acoustic Revive RD-3 Demagnetize
So the big question is...
Does a treated ripped CD sound better than an untreated ripped CD?
Anyone A/B a standard CD to a treated CD after ripped to a hard drive?
Thanks,
