Try this $20 tweak b4 upgrading!

Silver Member Username: EdisonGlendale, CA US Post Number: 841 Registered: Dec-03 | I sent my favorite CDs to this guy in the buttom, and he made a super duper version of it for me, and it sounds smooth and dynamic, like a good analogue sound of LP. I was never satisfied with CD sound, and was thinking of upgrading, but now I am happy with it - the source was the problem. You know the Europian thinking that the source is the most important link ... Might want to give it a try before shelling out thousands for an upgrade you don't need. http://www.geocities.com/agapehunger/classic_tan.html |

What is it that you are doing, apart from making a CDR copy of the CD at a slow burn rate? Yes, I am assuming (perhaps wrongly) that you are the same person based on the fact that you both used the spelling 'buttom'. While this service might be legal in Canada, I'm almost sure it isn't in the USA. Don't let the RIAA catch you! |

At that price per disc, you could soon buy a system worth the price of a car. While you're explaining what it is you're doing, explain how a slow burn rate puts back information that was originally left out by the flawed manufacturing process. Error correction has just as much chance of getting it wrong again if it's already wrong on the first copy. |

Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 1483 Registered: Feb-04 | Something tells me that James Lee won't be comming back to this thread. That's okay. At least with the current replies the thread won't appear as an independent endorsement in google searches. |

Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 7775 Registered: May-04 | The bad news, we don't get an explanation of JL's process and how he was trying to scam someone. The good news, he isn't going to benefit from this forum when he tries to scam someone else. Now, if someone should come across this thread by doing a search, there was a suggestion of a similar process to JL's intimated on this thread; https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/200105.html The process appears to involve a specific player/recorder interface and costs a bit of cash. I don't think SM ever got a resolution to her question as to how effective this "tweak" could actually become. |

Search for this name and you will find this: https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/home-audio/2267.html The email associated with Joong-In Rhee is gonglee3@hotmail.com James Lee's profile states his email is gonglee1@hotmail.com Same person maybe? More than likely. |

Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 7780 Registered: May-04 | Seems to be the scam of the hour to post on a forum and build up hits on your web page. Or so JI thought also. |
|
Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 6718 Registered: Dec-03 | James Lee...are you still out there? How was the service when you sent your favorite CDs to yourself? |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1574 Registered: Dec-04 | Great Peter. It's like a Columbo episode! hehe |

Gold Member Username: PetergalbraithRimouski, Quebec Canada Post Number: 1485 Registered: Feb-04 | I would not have even investigated if he hadn't spelled bottom as buttom in both his post and the ad. |

Silver Member Username: KanoBC Canada Post Number: 863 Registered: Oct-04 | Send all your CDs to me and I'll burn them on my computer for you at 0.0001KB/s. The burn process will somehow reveal information that wasn't on the fast run at the CD plant, where they use those crappy $10,000 burners. I bought my CD burner at Best Buy so I know it's good. I only charge $20 a CD (And I don't send the originals back because it's illegal to have multiple copies of the same album) |

Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 7787 Registered: May-04 | I'm not sure everyone knows CD's are stamped at the major factories. The pits are imbedded permanently in the aluminum substrate. There is no "burning" done at CD "pressing" plants. Yeah, sure, you guys knew that. |

Gold Member Username: Edster922Abubala, Ababala The Occupation Post Number: 3682 Registered: Mar-05 | LOL, the only thing worse than a scammer is a completely brainless one who doesn't even know how to cover his tracks! Good sleuthwork there Peter. |
|
Silver Member Username: KanoBC Canada Post Number: 866 Registered: Oct-04 | You'd think that the stamped CDs would be much more durable than consumer grade burned copies are, yet they become useless just as easily. |
|
Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 7805 Registered: May-04 | A consumer grade CD-R has the images of the pits and flats "stained" on the surface and, as such, the image will slowly fade. Last I read, burned CD's should be good for about twenty years. |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 6751 Registered: Dec-03 | "Original CD - $16.95 Duplication service - $20.00 Total - $36.95 per CD " Getting suckered into actually sending your CDs and paying for this crap - PRICELESS. |
|
Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 803 Registered: Feb-05 | Hey Berny... why don't you send in your "Closer" CD, and send mine in with it! Then we can see if this REALLY works... ROTFLMAO! those of you that don't know about this, check out the thread in the music forum about andrea bocelli and david foster. It went a little wayward when I saw david f's name, and I threw in my $.02 |

Gold Member Username: Project6Post Number: 6771 Registered: Dec-03 | LOL! I'm still PO'd with that. Now I can't stand that CD |

Silver Member Username: Timn8terSeattle, WA USA Post Number: 819 Registered: Dec-03 | I had the opportunity to listen to some CD-Rs last night that sounded much better than redbook CDs. Of course, the owner had access to the masters when he made them. ;-) |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1581 Registered: Dec-04 | No, I,m not green at all, Tim. Ohh no... What did the owner burn them on? |
|
Gold Member Username: Jan_b_vigneDallas, TX Post Number: 7832 Registered: May-04 | "I had the opportunity to listen to some CD-Rs last night that sounded much better than redbook CDs." I find that difficult to believe. I have held both types of discs up to my ears, ... wait, I'll do it again right now ... wait... I'll be back in a minute ... ouch! Yes, just as I thought, ... hmmmmmmm ... waaaaaait ... wassat? Right! Neither type sounds better than the other. You'll have to try harder than that to fool us, Tim. |

Silver Member Username: Timn8terSeattle, WA USA Post Number: 821 Registered: Dec-03 | Is that your idea of Friday night entertainment Jan? Nuck, We can be envious together 'cuz I didn't even get copies. The CDs were made at a brand new recording studio in China with mostly FM Acoustics equipment. Here in North America we're shutting down state-of-the-art recording studios while in China they're building them. wait...their?...there?....they're?....durrrr.... |
|
Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1583 Registered: Dec-04 | They be building them there(got around the apostraphe issue), because the Chinese donot care a whit where the toxic waste from such an operation end up. The mangenese, silver oxide and Diety knows what else are simply dumped into the nearest ditch, hauled by peons and driven by whips.(ok maybe that is a bit much). China will rise to the economic heights of North America x 15, and the yuan will be the preffered trading denomination for years, until that big ol house comes down, just like here, when self poisoning and lawsuits take over. I gotta get a hobby on the road, man. |

Gold Member Username: NuckParkhill, Ontario Canada Post Number: 1585 Registered: Dec-04 | Second verse, same as the first. I might suggest a flaming bag of poo on a neighbors doorstep, and I might further suggest it be defended as art, or a political statement. Or this. |

Silver Member Username: GavincummNew York USA Post Number: 900 Registered: Feb-05 | what about running for a political office with the slogan "free buttplugs for all" |
