"Bedini Ultra Clarifier", does it really work??
Here is some more info. Actual testing, in the lab. http://www.furutech.com/news/RD-2%20web.htm =========== Qdrone, I have found that if a Cd is Harsh or bright sounding, if it is spun in the Bedini clarifier it usually will still sound harsh and bright, in some cases worse. |
I ran across this Article from IAR review. Long but interesting. |
I recorded the original CD on to Yamaha CDR-HD1500 harddrive, then used a Quadri Beam Ultra Clarifier on one side, recorded again, and then A-B compared. It definitely was better, clearer, more detail, less veiled on my system. Then did both sides, and was even better. Quadri is supposed to be noticeably better than the dual beam. After about 800 CD's, the motor has quit. I am buying a new one. |
Going back to the mid-90's, I tried balance rings and slip on edge rings that made no discernible difference to me. But then I heard about using a bulk tape eraser. I decided to try it- $20 at Radio Shack, why not? The results blew me away! I liken it to listening with a cartridge set at the wrong tracking force and then correcting it. Amazing but true. My brother works at the division of Sony that makes CDs, DVDs and blu-ray. He showed me the manufacturing process for CD's years ago. The disc is molded with the pits in place. Then Aluminum is atomically sputtered onto the polycarbonate disc. A second disc is placed over the aluminum and sealed. CDs can last a long time but are not archival. ie. when that seal breaks the Al will corrode. So back up your favored music. He says there is an analog like component to CDs despite being digital. But he wasn't impressed with my bulk tape eraser story- same response as any normal person to our audiophile obsession. I have been treating my CD's with this bulk tape eraser for the past 14 years now. |
