How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?

Are these burned with your revised RC unit and on what blanks. I ask because I have more of a sense of the hall and recording venue with the RC copies on their blanks.

In my experience, the CD duplicates create a silence between images, but reduce "air." This tends to make poorly recorded studio albums sound cleaner and clearer.

This echoes my observations as I listened and compared three original CDs and their RealityCheckCD copies.

I did prefer the RealityCheckCD version of one recording to the CD original. With the other two, I preferred the CD original. The RealityCheckCD I liked better was a copy of a poorly recorded CD, the two RealityCheckCDs I did not prefer were copies of well recorded CDs.

In all cases, my preferences were directly related to "air" and silence between images as described by Exlibris.

Tbg,
I burned 5 CDs on George's black discs prior to modifying the unit. My comments refer to these 5 CDs and to the CDs I've made with my modified unit.

Exlibris, can you tell us more of your modified unit? Louis reported he has a customer who has added a linear supply and is exploring its benefits. Is the customer you? I have done nothing due to Christmas, CES coming up, and final exams.

Tbg,
Yes, that is me. The modified unit has an outboard power supply (transformer-based) and a second power supply installed in the unit itself. The original switch-mode power supply has been removed. This allows one to disconnected or remove the fan as well. The modification can be done so that the AC cord goes in the RC or in the new outboard unit.

I sent three original CDs and the copies I made of each using my modified RC, to another member of the Audiogon community. I've invited him to post his honest responses, good or bad, to this thread.

I often compare:
1. the orignal CD
to
2. the RC copy
to
3. the modified RC copy

Sometimes I like number 1, sometimes I like number 3.
