"why cant my system soound like the ones in here?" the answers were often snide quips about room treatment this, cable that.....

vivd and sst have glued my system together....

SST

Hi Sean,

I am planning on buying the SST. And your enthusiastic endorsement has only confirmed my decision. I just didn't buy it right now due to some money constraints. But I will get it as soon as possible. I'm glad you like it. Thanks for the endorsement.

cool. im gonna edit out some of the enthusiasm now that you've read it. glad you are getting it.

ps you get ALOT more for the 70 dollar bottle of vivid, i think. Maybe if you really like it they can exchange at no cost to you.

I d say the small bottle is good for like 150-200 cds max.

later,

sean

post your thoughts on moth SST and vivid.

I hear what you are saying. However, I have less than 50 cds right now. I am slowly building up a Classical collection.

A piece of rainbow foil is the final step to having a complete system, spwal.

I have a free sample of the rainbow foil on the way. An interesting list of CD tweaks can be found here: http://www.tweakaudio.com/Cd%20tweaks.html.

Nice link with some great CD tweaks. It's a wonder why he did not include the Audio Desk cd lathe.

I think part of the reason may be here:

5. Remove static on the CD/SACD/DVD by using the Mapleshade Iconoclast. Works similarly to the Zerostat (generally used on records/LPs) but way more powerful. Puts out both positive and negative Ions to completely de-static the CD. According so some, works better than demagnetizing the CD with either the Bidini Clarifier or a bulk eraser. The Iconoclast can be used on your cables for better sound as well.

My previous site manager used to work for a company that repaired those. They gave him one while he was working there, and he passed it on to me when he learned I was an audiophile.

My impression is that they universally make the sound waay worse, particularly with DVDs. It gives anything used in it that hard, edgy, digital sound. When I told the site manager this, he told me that's what everyone at the company thought too. I ended up chucking it, and that's one less thing collecting dust in my closet.

I think you have use this in conjunction with rainbow foils. The synergy is immeasurable.

If you really think this is giving your system an 'edge' or an 'improvement' you are kidding yourself. Reading this thread makes me wonder what I could come up with to 'enhance' your listening experience. I'd say your listening experience would be improved much more by spending more time enjoying the music!

I saw something (from Japan I think) and you put a CD inside of it, turn it on and then it blasts the CD with light (they recommend only doing it twice at the most). Blasting the CD with light apparently gets rid of the air bubbles which makes the CD sound better . It cost something like $500 I think but I lost the website to it and I can't even remember the name . Does anyone know what I'm talking about???

exactly what he said! how stupid do they really think their customers are?

this is why some of us get so riled and end up here on our search for audio stuffs, there are so many liars trying to sell audio crap, and there's no other way to put it, they are fraudsters.

people have spent their entire lifetimes exploring the workings of electronics to bring us the modern world, technology, incredibly intelligent and dedicated people. and this is how we repay them...by degmagnetising plastic, or even the inks on them...so it doesn't corrupt the laser...

people who go for this crap should be ashamed.
