I've used and liked Auric Illuminator. It is a good product. I've also used others I liked less. But I've started to use the Essence of Music. I can tell you how it sounds but you might not believe me. It can be that much of a leap. It is a fundamental shift in listening to cd in my system. I never thought cd played depth well or fullness of timber or had a easy unforced analogue like flow to the music that kept drawing you in...But I was dead wrong. I now understand that it is not so much getting the music onto the cd as it is getting the information off the cd.....If any of you try this product I will warn you..it makes you stop and wonder "what just happened?" it's just silly good...I can't go on without sounding like I'm babbling..it's a stunning product. Do understand a disc driven into constant distortion[Nashville/country for example ]... it will still sound bad... and that's the loudness war at work....cheers, bluenose
