Onhwy61, perhaps a little hyperbole in my statement, but yes it elevates redbook to a level where I no longer listen to sacds, because of their lack of drive or pace, and can listen for a long time to digital without missing my vinyl. I do not like the new RealDisc, however, it is easier to use but robs the copies of their lead edge and realism. Jfz, I will contribute Reality Check copies but obviously am not going to buy another duplicator. |
Grant, I've been down this road with Norm many times. He spins and misrepresents other's posts all the time and when challenged he never offers any back-up. I recently went through a similar fiasco with Norm over at AA and I kept begging him to RE-READ my words and his OWN words. The proof was there for everyone to read and Norm just kept on misrepresenting and distorting the facts when the truth was right there on the page in front of him. He just refuses to EVER substantiate his distortions of the truth. The RealityCheck may indeed be all that it is cracked up to be and George may indeed do some proprietary work to an otherwise off-the-shelf unit, but I can tell you now your efforts to discuss anything about the RealityCheck with Norm is an exercise in futility. He will continue to "put words in your mouth" for as long as you post here. |
I am surprised this product ever got any traction at all, but audiophiles are an eccentric bunch. I have seen worse purchases in this hobby (How about a $500 wooden knob). Maybe the fluids do something unique. At least his product will burn CD's for you. If you think it creates a better copy-then it is worth it for you. As always- it is your money. You can spend it as you wish. |
Fiddler, thanks for confirming what I suspected was the truth. It's clear to me having done a little homework, that George's duplicator at $575 isn't that far off in price from the two other Plextor 716A duplicators I have found for $444 and $349.95, which offer better apples to apples comparisons. Still, the jury is out whether spending the extra money on George's duplicator reaps benefits. It might. Certainly, any comparison as Jfz suggests would have to have as many elements controlled as possible, i.e. matching black CDs, both using (or not using) George's liquid treatments, and marking the duplicates as "A" and "B", so only the creator(s) of the discs would know which was burned on which duplicator. Last, those with a leaning toward one duplicator or the other should not participate in the evaluation. No homers! |
