How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?

The supermediastore duplicator is also $445 nearly twice what you said the RealityCheck could be replaced with. Your claims are still open to debate.

The supermediastore duplicator is also $445 nearly twice what you said the RealityCheck could be replaced with.

That's not the point, Tbg. You're spinning.

You quoted Mr. Louis as stating:

“But for sure, at this time there aren't any assembled duplicators sold online with even one Plextor DVD-RW drive let alone two Plextor DVD-RW drives each with their own 8MB memory buffers.”

That was Mr. Louis' statement. I did the homework and proved his statement is false. That's all.

"Kana813, you are right. Mr. Louis gets his basic chassis from the same source the iopshop.com gets theirs. In fact he is now selling the same base unit for $215."

Tbg- I don't know why anyone would buy this unit from George, but if you did, you could still install the Plextor 716As for less than the cost of RealityCheckCD Audiophile Grade Duplicator RCCD-AG 2.2™.

I got a brand new Iomega external burner recommended by Mr.Koh for less than $20. on ebay. All I need are sources for the ingredents in RealDisc,ClearBit and the MicroTex cloth.

PS- Does your unit have Plextor drives?

PPS- What speed to burn copies at?

Tvad, some time ago you asked, "What, if anything, does the RealityCheck burner ($795) provide which the burner sold through IO Shop ($229) does not?" I suppose your "if anything" could be viewed as not suggesting what you believe. I think Mr. Louis' statement suggests your "if anything" is incorrect.

I would be very interested if you would report your findings comparing either the ioshop or the supermedia burners with copies made with the RealityCheck.

I have been frustrated by Mr. Louis' unwillingness to respond. I think his offer is indeed the only response. I say you are flat wrong that you can duplicate the performance of the RealityCheck for a fraction of the cost. Prove me wrong.

Kana813, I think his offer is to counter the claims that he merely reships the ioshop duplicator. Many, if not most, audiophiles are not prepared to install drives.

Yes, my unit has Plextor drives. I believe it burns by default at 8X

Tbg, let me make this crystal clear to you and all those reading this thread. I have never made any statements to the effect that copies made on the IO Shop duplicator are equal to, or not equal to the copies made on the RealityCheck system.

I have pointed to the AA discussion in this original post:

Looks like a reality check on the RealityCheck at Audio Asylum.

A primary point of the discussion is the availability of an apparently identical DVD/CD burner available at iopshop.com.

...and I have asked questions. That's all.

You have been extrapolating my questions regarding the veracity of Mr. Louis' claims as an endorsement of the IO Shop duplicator (or any Plextor drive based burner). Nothing is further from the truth.

I, and others here, just want some straight answers from Mr. Louis about his system. When he makes claims that are false, like the one about NO other dual Plextor drive based DVD duplicators being available on the internet, then questions continue to be raised about the veracity of his other statements.

I do not endorse one burner over the other. Like you, I will wait for some answers.
