How come there is no thread on the RealityCheck?

Tbg,

Your points are well taken. It does take more than hype to sell a product. Some have done quite well on the hype cycle while they were the darlings of the reviewers and consumers, only to quietly, or in a few cases, not so quietly disappear into the night.

True quality products will withstand the test or time IMO. Just out of curiosity I'll be tracking the Reality Checker and its technology as I'd like to see where it is a year from now, let alone 5 years from now.

Clio09, I expect that the technology will show up in other burners but that it is short lived. There is evidence that the benefits to the copied discs vanish when put on hard drives. I fully expect that we will see such massive storage of pcm files on hard drives to be the wave of the near future with most songs downloaded over the internet.

Perhaps there is a way to process pcm to yield results on hard drives. In the mean time, I will continue to add to my 50 plus cds that I have copied. It is such a pain to four times clean the original and blank discs and then burn a copy, but the benefits are substantial. Now the question on AA is whether L'art de Son or AudioTop are the better clearner of both the originals and blanks.

Today I am doing 10 copies, so I had better get to work.

Kana813,
When you refer to "jitter" in the following statement,

"the unit is powered by a switch mode power supply. The noise level on these supplies can increase jitter in digital equipment"

are you referring to mechanical vibration or to clocking problems?

Exlibris-

Yes, the high level of ripple noise from these supplies can increase jitter on the clock generators. Power supply noise can also effect the disk read functions.

...I'm simply protecting unknowing folks from shills pushing bogus and marginal products. Consider it a service from a concerned ombudsman. Thank you.

I'll opt for self-service.
