Bedini Clarifier II, FuruTech RD-1 etc

Sean, thanks for the tip, I already ordered Bedini II from Elusive Disc $150,close to where I now live, Cincinnati. BTW I lived in Chicago from 1979-91 in Lincoln Park, by Fullerton & Clark St, wish I was still there.....but things change. I have no doubt that Bedini II will work, but I think FuruTech design of keeping CD stationary while being treated is better concept, cost is much higher $300-350......thanks for all the useful comments guys....regards Sam

"Shayner's" right. I had the Bedini Clarifier. Not only is it built cheesy, it's made absolutley no sonic improvements to my ears. In my opinion this classifies as one of Voodoo ripoff tweaks. Save your money. Buy a PS Audio P-300 for real sonic improvement.

Shayner, it is you who needs to drop the attitude here. What a jerk you are! I quote: "DTSAG, I probably make more money in a month than you do in a year,"...then you are so stupid, you contradict yourself by saying: "different points of view are always welcome, minus the personal criticism". You need to clean up your own back yard on that one. Then you say, "I don't understand why people are so hostile towards others with a differnt view". Neither can I, cause you certainly are! By the way, nothing you have said so matter of factly, is quite as factual as you would like it to be, and none of us have any reason to think that your "views" have any validity at all on the subject of treating CD's with the items in question...you aren't even a civil person, and I have no patience for jerkwads like that. This is my final reply to you.

Megasam; Thanks for the good thread. I've followed it with interest because I've also been interested in the Bedini Clarifiers. Dtsag-- no offence intended, but your User Name is also an acronym for "Drop The Snotty Attitude Guys" (DTSAG). I didn't pick up on this until Carl put it in capital letters. The thread got a little unruly in places, but I appreciate the GOOD information. Cheers. Craig.

For those who are uncertain about laying out the $150.-$300 for demagnetizing(static removal),consider the better Radio Shack bulk eraser(under $50.) and give it a try.It has a 30 day full refund policy and you could either keep it ,return it if you hear no change or return it and go for the B C II or the RD1.I have the better R S bulk eraser(dead silent and quicker than BC II) and like it better than the old noisey hand held Bedini.
