IsoTek System Enhancer: Can it improve the sound?

I recently bought an IsoTek "Full System Enhancer and Rejuvenation Disc" Previously, I owned a Purist Audio Design "System Enhancer" for 15 years which a newly upgraded Ayre CX-7E mp. just spits out.

So I decided to replace the Purist Design device with the IsoTek. Before breaking the cellophane seal that will nullifies a full refund return to Music Direct, has any member used this product with success.?? Can it improve or enhance the sound of a system, especially one that has had some recent changes made. Thanx

Yes it will improve the system. Case in point: last week I took delivery of a new Wyred Dac 2 from the factory. I have been both listening to the unit and burning it in with the Isotek disc. Big improvement in the sound during the past week. All positives, no negatives.

Jim-

how did you like the PAD disc? I have often wondered if it is worth the $119 price?

OTOH, I have the Isotek discs on order. I own many, many of these "test" CDs and find them all helpful, especially, the Stereophile series of discs. Keep me posted and Happy Listening!

To Jafant, In answering your question about the Purist Audio Design. The original disc which I owned showed improvement in the sound about 6 out of 10 times, but never were the changes dramatic. However, the other 4 out of 10 times, the changes were slight, but never notable or remarkable.

I spoke to Jim Aude about two week ago, and he claimed that the new and improved PAD disc uses approx. twice the amount of algoriths, but the process takes the same amount of time to cycle through.

Stereo 5: thanks for the feedback about the IsoTek
