New Free Energy Conferences in Hamburg and Chicago

[MileHigh]

Because I know there can be a noticeable difference in base tightness

The problem is that the base brightness is not something tangible that can be seen in the PCM data stream, nor does the "clarifier" access that data stream.  There is no possible process driven by the "clarifier" that is an analog equivalent to something like a parametric equalizer or a compressor/limiter/expander to adjust the perception of bass brightness.  In other words, the "clarifier" can't possibly be doing something tantamount to digitally processing the signal to do things like the compressor/limiter/expander.  It's simply impossible.

The whole thing is wrong on so many levels.  It's the equivalent to going to one of those free energy/breakthrough energy conferences and coming back with a $75 "healing crystal."

It is statements like these that demonstrate a closed mind not open to the possibility that does exist outside their own limited understanding. Is it possible that the device is doing something that is outside your own very limited understanding?
Have you ever thought about that one?

What is your technical level?   For example, in ten sentences or less, can you describe the steps that take place between the LASER reading the CD to the analog out from the phono jacks?

I am not trying to give you a hard time, I am just trying to understand if you understand the guts inside your CD player.

Testing the Bedini CD Clarifier

The only person who can benefit from a "scientific test" of the Bedini CD Clarifier is the seller or the inventor, because the effect is always subjective.

It will depend on the particular CD:

- an unplayable CD will not play again

- a dusty CD will play better because the Clarifier will effectively remove dust particles and even "greasy particles" if they have not become glued to the CD

So, there will be many "dirty" CDs which will play somehow better after the treatment. And if they do not play better, well, they were good anyway.

If you measured the output of a CD player before and after the treatment you will not find the areas where they play better because it will be a very local and transient effect passing by your equipment a high speed (within milliseconds) and one would not know what to trigger for.

Subjectively you will hear an improvement because some music passages which played worse (because of dirt) will play better after the treatment (because the dirt was blown off). This will work specially well which a CD which you like and hear often (because you remember much of the music and a few defects while listening).

Said in short, some "dirty" CDs will subjectively play better after the treatment because some music passages will be less distorted after dirt is removed. It also helps if dirt is removed from tiny cracks, which can not be done well by wiping with a cloth, but will work by spinning the CD.

It takes genius to invent such a device. It does not harm CDs, but for some "defects" (dust, dust in cracks, heaver crease particles from human hands) it will work. Just forget the "electronic or magnet miracle", look at the practical effect (removing dirt).

I could make many old CDs "playable or readable" again by carefully cleaning them (with a mild water-detergent solution and a soft cloth). Even scratches could be "repaired" by that. I think it is because dirt was removed from the depth of a scratch (which distorted the Laser beam more than the crack itself).
