RealityCheck has a new cd treatment, actually two. UltraBit and UltraBit Gold are a single application treatment for fresh cds and cd-rs. I have tried both on both the originals and on cd-rs that were copied with the RC duplicator. I never liked the RealDisc cleaner, but the UltraBit Gold is both easier and better than the old ClearDisc and ClearBit treatments.
I have found that although UltraBit is also an improvement UltraBit Gold which is somewhat more expensive proves clearly superior. I have also found that cleaning the original is a big improvement especially if followed by using the Nespa, but that duplicating the original after those treatments on to a cd-r that has been treated with UltraBit Gold and then Nespaing the copy, gives a much more precise and realistic soundstage and the best dynamics and drive to the music.
I have thus far redone 12 of the original RC copies that I have with the new procedure and plan to do the remaining 55 as soon as I can.
