Since he gives no clue as to what the 'reprocessing' comprises, it's impossible to predict what he's actually doing - if anything beyond simple copying. -- Stewart Pinkerton | Music is Art - Audio is Engineering |

It's pretty standard high endery. "I got a secret new technology - day
and night difference, aided by a liberal dose of scientisim without nary an listening alone test in sight to seperate the marketing from the reality. It should be easy enough to make a copy system that changes a recording just enough to rise above the threshold of audibility and declare the difference "better". People who sell wire with black box networks attached do this already. It would be intresting to put his cdr and the original on a bench and measure the differences in signal. It would be intresting to record from the same mic feed to his box and to standard cd and then do both the listening alone and signal testing. Found this on Audio Asylum.

The guy that owns the "technology" is dead serious about it. There is one piece of truth in the article. He makes the claim that DAT mastering tapes sound better than the CD's made from them. Also, I have noticed that some CD's I have duplicated on my computer seem to require very slow, even below 1x read speeds when i have error correction turned on. The copies seem to read just fine at 40x. Seems to me my dvd writer creates CD-R's that are less error prone than the originals. There is no doubt that computer writers can be advantageously used to recover scratched and otherwise damaged CD and write new clean copies. Maybe the only thing he really has is a good CD burner and some nice jitter control software. At 599 it is cheaper than buying a computer to duplicate discs if that's all you want a burner for. Carl |
