How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?

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!

I don't have time for this palaver.

To the board: is there any chance that you might filter out posts that are largely (or wholly) about denigrating individuals, i.e. not mainly opinions about equipment or music?

Jfz, I agree completely. Nobody will even post if they get attacked all the time. I have a friend who's ears I trust, jacytoy here on agon, who tried one of TBG's RC discs and he says they are far better than the originals. I think we should be applauding Tbg for continuing to explore all things audio, and for having the courage in the face of these attacks to post "his" results. After all it is only audio and it appears he was right for heavens sake! IMHO

Gentlemen, and ladies, asking questions are not attacks. They are due diligence. No one is being attacked here. That's the constant battle cry of those who support that which cannot, or will not, be verified.

Everyone who puts forth new ideas is questioned about those ideas. As a Phd, no one knows this better than Tbg. All doctoral candidates must defend their theses. Mr. Louis should not be required to defend his invention?

There's no room in the discussion for requiring proof of the process?

Buyers of lucky rabbits feet will swear of the powers those fuzzy feet possess, but no one can provide any proof.

The RealityCheck CD process clearly produces a different sounding disc. I've heard it. The question remains if there is another burner containing identical Plextor drives that produces the same changes. This is not a reasonable question? Of course it is.

Mr. Louis has yet to provide any verifiable details of how his process is different from that available from off the shelf products. This remains at the core of the issue.
