how does a bedini treated c.d compare to the same shm c.d?

Do you want to know whether a SHM CD benefits from treatment by a BC 151?

i am asking what would be the biggest improvement a bc treated standered cd or a shm cd not treated. thanks 555

151 anytime you want to pop over and hear for yourself.
You would be most welcome.
I have not used mine on a shm cd as i have not felt the need to, but will try it tonight.
I would think John has though.

thanks munch,hope your looking after my house.

Perhaps my confusion was caused by a senior moment?

IME the BC reveals the recording, making it clearer.
This results in a sonically good CD sounding better,
but a poor recording sounding worse.

If you have lots of CDs in your collection a BC is very good VFM IMHO,
esp' with the quality of your CDP 151.

The SHM CDs I've heard are sonically very good, but with these there are two factors to consider ...

1: The SHM technology.

2: Many of these releases are also new remasters.

So far I've only heard SHM CDs that are also new remasters,
but there have been posts from members who have heard little difference between a SHM CD & the same master source in standard CD format.

I have concluded that the benefit of the SHM technology is most noticeable in the low level parts of the music, so I think the better your CDP & power supply, the more benefit you will enjoy from SHM CDs - due to lower level noise floor. Again IMHO your CDP & system deserves the best!

Cheers - John

New patio doors and windows going in.And a whole new bathroom

I'll have to try a BC, but it is vinyl that is concerning me at the moment because I found out the material that gives it its colour, Carbon Black, contains metallic trace elements that create a weak magnetic field and degrade the sound when they roar past my DV20XL at 33.3 rpm. I was really enjoying my vinyl until I read this and now I can no longer sleep at nights, I've become tired and restless and .....

sorry about that - back on subject

then I read some words of wisdom from none other than Keith Jarrett, the world renown musician, who recently discovered the Talisman Magnetic Treatment for LPs (and CDs) and says "Absolutely spectacular... after using the Talisman - you retrieve more information from your LPs, CDs and DVDs than you will have ever heard or thought possible.... A mind-bogglingly accurate representation of the music as it sounded when it was recorded."



Has anybody tried this to treat LPs, CDs and DVDs and found distortion lowered and the sound more realistic; the sound stage open up with improved depth and transparency? Did you get more information without glare or harshness? Did dynamics improve and the harmonics sound more natural?

Is there anybody out there?

Those are the effects I have heard from using a BC ROTF,
subject to the CD.

Probably, but ...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one on the forum using a BC.

I have had one since March this year.
It works for me on cds and dvds.

The Talisman does the same for vinyl

I too am using a BC... I give each disc a spin before playing it as a matter of course.

J.N has one too!

Michael,
Do you not find once you do a disc it lasts for a few plays?

I have been wondering about a BC since JN brought one to TonyM's in May. Is it really worth it guys? Is the effect audible on SHMs?

For the improvement of CD replay it's very good VFM IMHO Chris.
When I researched before buying mine the best deal was direct from their website,
& if you Google Bedini you'll see it at the top of results.
If you look in 'Used Equipment' there are new cosmetic 2nds.
I got one of these & could see no glue stains.
The Quadri Beam is the best model, & costs $175 inc shipping.
If you ask they'll adjust the HMRC dec'.
I think it costs around £200 from UK dealers.

Agree, I only repeat it after quite a few plays.

Thanks for the info John. Does it make a noticable difference to the SHM discs?

Chris,
I dont bother doing my SHMs but i dont have all of them.
You have mail.
Munch

Thanks Munch.
