absolute sound this month raves about the ultrabit platinum fluid application onto cds. Has anyone tried this? I find it hard to believe that if your cd lens is clean and your cds are not scratched that this would have an impact other than subjectively wanting to hear it for the $75 this product costs.
George, I just got the ultra bit and am listening to Kind of blue as I write this, and I gotta say, WOW!
I'm not on my main rig (listening to my office rig) and it's more musical, sound stage is much taller ad instruments just pop from the thier proper places.
I'm very impressed by the very significent improvement.
WARNING. RE "Elizabeths" comments above!! Mequiars Scratch X will SCRATCH the surface it is used on. I have used it in automotive polishing. It works to remove obvious scratches by its abrasive(polishing) action. In the automotive business it is called a polishing compound-all of which work by abrasive action. It is NOT similar to Ultrabit Platinum-which is not an abrasive. I enjoy this forum & appreciate everyones right to their opinion and have nothing against Elizabeth and I'm not questioning her enjoyment of the product; however, as always, not everyone's suggestion is appropriate. The swirl marks resulting from a "polishing compound will NOT help the laser read the disc. We're talking apples & oranges. Happy listening as always. pete
Ive been using Ultrabit religiously for about six months now. The blue velvet pouch (nice WAF touch) supplied with Ultrabit is a permanent fixture on my home office desk. What really convinced me this stuff was magic was when I dragged out CDs that were banished to really bad sound quality shelf on my Boltz CD rack. For example, the CD by the Subdudes titled Street Symphony is IMHO absolutely great rock & roll. Maybe I got a bad copy, but the sound quality wasnt good. I took it out and hit it a couple of times with the Ultrabit and WOW.
