I posted a thread about this thing last year : http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?htech&1113147370&openfrom&1&4#1 I'm deciding to kick out for the machine, a di$count would be kinda nice. I'd like to uniformly trim my CDs to the *same outer diameter* for my De Mat, so the lip of it goes over the edge of all my discs, not 80% of them. So if this thing is a "lathe" I should be able to use it as such, not just for the "beveled edge" Elizabeth's post is echoed by Loontoon in my thread. |
sirspeedy: I know you asked for feedback on whether or not the Audiodesk trimmer improved sound; however, I also want to share the positive effects it has on DVD's. Resolution and color is noticably improved. I use my Audiodeske for both CD's and DVD's (with a front projector and upsampling DVD player in a dedicated HT). |
WOW!!This is all enough "patchkaing" to reinforce to me that vinyl is an easier medium to enjoy,afterall!! Just kidding,but we all thought lp spinning was a pain in the tush,now check out all these processes to get the most from a crummy CD. How about making the venerable silver disc "better"? Best! |
Thanks Albert. Not saying I either doubt or believe your hypothesis, but those tests as you describe them aren't sufficient to establish causality (they don't measure the datastream, and aren't controlled to eliminate psychology as a possible cause). But I'm not very surprised that Krell decided there was indeed a problem (even if it wasn't known to be a measureable problem, it was still a potential PR problem due to audiophile word of mouth), though I am a bit surprised that they then didn't completely 'fix' it by simply installing a fully opaque cover. |
