I've heard of this company and tried one of their products once (the Silclear) but was wondering what people thought of this:
Nonsense, right?

I believe this is what's commonly referred to as "Snake Oil".Mitch

Well they state its physics. Do we have a resident physicist?AdzComment

Uh, make that "Digital Snake Oil".
Yeah, I think it's possible to improve the sound of your CD's and DVD's.
1. Acoustical evaluation and treatment of listening room.
2. Speaker upgrade.
3. Source unit upgrade (unless you're running some pretty heavy iron already- say, an Esoteric SACD player, or Ayre C-5xe).
4. Cable upgrades (again, unless you're running some pretty heavy copper or silver already- this is just "fine tune", although I can readily hear good cable upgrades even in a system without room treatements, especially for dipole speakers).

Total bull. That's like marketing an oil that when rubbed on the pages of your favorite book will make the story more interesting.Comment

While I enjoy playing with the occasional tweak just to see if it does do something, this one sounds way too far out there for me. Like Jon posted above, there are lots better ways to invest your time/money/efforts unless you are one of the fortunates that have done everything legitimate to optimize their system and are finally looking at things like this..

Click your heals together 3 times just before you power up your amp and you won't believe how much better your system will sound.Comment

The CD player reads 1s and 0s off of the disc. There is no subjectively improving the quality, it's just reading 1s and 0s either correctly or incorrectly. Unless this stuff can actually improve the error rate of the transport there's nothing it can do to improve the sound. It's LITERALLY like spreading something on the pages of a book to improve the story.Comment

If it's based on physics, why not explain the physics in depth? Probably because it doesn't stack up when looked at in depth.Comment

OK, over the past few weeks, I've become increasingly frustrated to see so many "remastered" CDs showing up when I already own all of the originals. Examples include Billy Joel, Dire Straits, Sade, etc, etc. It really pisses me off that I've already spent money on these and now there are newer... -
I find myself always in search of that truly reference sound quality DVD. Even if I may not be particularly interested in the subject matter, I can find myself sitting there in my free time watching it over and over because it sounds sooo damn good - I guess that's some sort of sickness - if someone... -
If you liked the first Resident Evil, you won't be disappointed with this sequel. Be prepared for wall to wall action. And you just may have to adjust the volume a tad. My Denon receiver has the volume at -10 for movies and with this film I had to lower the volume to -15 AND IT WAS STILL LOUD. But I... -
I love the sound from my Rotel RSP-1098 as well as all the other features of it. I have been working with an ht consultant that suggested to me that he has sold many a customer upgraded power cords and they have truly improved the sonic performance of the equipment they are connected to.

I have just tried downloading music from itunes and then burned a cd. Is this as good as cd purchased from retail store. Quality sounds fine but I dont know anything about retaining sq and playback. Is their any settings that might improve quality in windows and does a good sound card do anything? Any...
