Anyone have experience with the Nanotec Nespa?

Tvad, we are talking past each other as usual. For some unknown and unjustified reason you believe the RealityCheck is unmodified and that the cd-rs are available at a much lower price.

My reasons have been documented by those who have apparently tracked down the identical items offered for lower prices elsewhere. You are caught in the unfortunate position of an early adopter who got caught spending more than you had to spend.

You also deny that the research that went into the selection of this burner

No, I have never denied this. In fact, in my earlier post I gave George credit for finding the burner, discs and liquid and assembling the "kit".

for modification

No modification has yet been proved by Mr. Louis by way of a patent or patent pending number, for which he claimed to have applied.

Your is basically a naive consumer's perspective that no one is entitled to a profit or that the profit should be what you judge to be appropriate.

No, I have never denied Mr. Louis a profit, nor have I made any suggestion of what profit he should charge, although I have said that I personally find a 150% mark-up exorbitant. I have offered information to potential buyers of the RealityCheck CD product that lower cost alternatives are available that may offer the same performance adjustments to burned CDs. Do you put words into the mouths of your students at Texas A&M?

Lenin also believed this and, of course, it is the basis for communism.

Now, you're accusing me of being a communist? That's where this has gone?

I know this does not matter to you, and that you will continue harping that consumers are fools, a lament that many businessmen who tried to sell something that no one bought have often uttered.

I have never harped that consumers are fools...only consumers who do not do their due diligence. Actually, I consider consumers as a whole to be quite bright.

What else ya got?

Tvad, too many "mays" and "apparently" in your argument. No, I am not calling you a communist, but yours is the same argument Lenin used. How the hell you determine what is an appropriate price I don't know. No, I don't try putting words in my students' mouths, but I do hasten to point out the felicitous arguments and assumptions. So consumers who buy the RealityCheck are fools because you find they did not do their due diligence? Who made you the judge?

I suggest we just drop this useless posting.

Thank you, Tbg. That's a nice compliment.

In light of the recent information presented on AA, which points to the possibility of lower cost alternatives to the RealityCheck CD system, I believe it would be foolish for consumers not to do some thorough homework before spending their cash. You can't disagree with that, can you?

Who made you the judge?

Never claimed to be. Everyone is free to purchase what they want to purchase, but they should have all the information before making their purchase, shouldn't they?

What’s the problem, Tbg? I find your debates entertaining. While I’m admittedly one of the Show Me members of Audiogon, you have to be the Mikey of Audiogon. You’ll try anything.

BTW, I find sitting on Styrofoam cups increases strength in my glutes and hamstrings. Fabulous benefits while cycling in the hills. My lower torso Magic Conditioning Devices are available for $795/pair. Act now.

You say, "So consumers who buy the RealityCheck are fools because you find they did not do their due diligence?

Where did I ever say they should not, but I deny your judgment that if they buy the RealityCheck they are fools.

End of my participation in this useless discussion.

Tbg, you are putting words into my mouth again, and I cannot let it stand. I have reviewed every statement I made in this thread, and nowhere have I said that buyers of the RealityCheck CD kit are fools. If you can find the quote by me where this is stated, I will immediately offer an apology to you and the rest of RealityCheck CD system owners.

Fools buy into lucky rabbit’s feet, palm reading, magic crystals and other products that are based on pseudo science and nonsense.

If the science behind a device is real, the process can be repeated and the product can be reverse engineered and patented.

I don't know if that definition applies to the RealityCheck CD system. There's simply not enough real information available from Mr. Louis regarding "BetterBit Technology", "BetterBits for Better Sound", or "NanoBit Ultralog Reprocessing with Bezier Curve Re-Algorization" to make a determination, and that is the core of the issue as far as I'm concerned.
