A follow-up

Inspired by this thread, and curious if my now-vague memory of the IBE disc was accurate or not, I picked one up from Music Direct; it arrived yesterday. I put it through my main rig, which hadn't been "cleansed" in well over a month. (The last time I did it, I used the IsoTek disc, which I've employed for years now.)

Results were impressive. I only used Track 7 (and only played it once, at fairly low volume). I noticed more air, stage width, and clarity (the last especially true on cymbals), and the low end seemed to become more defined as well. And I didn't have to strain to hear it. I can't offer a particularly valid comparison of how it stacks up to the IsoTek CD, because I haven't run the Iso in more than a month, but my GUT impression is that Track 7 of the Ayre IBE disc, AS A REFRESHER, makes at least as much sonic difference as the Iso's demag track, and more difference than I remember it making from past experience.

I took somewhat detailed notes. I'll run the IsoTek through the rig in 2-3 weeks and see how my impressions differ from my thoughts on the Ayre. Not scientific by any stretch, I know, but it's the best I can manage. :)

This is a public service announcement . . . WITH GUITARS!!!
