...I'll probably be listening to my cd's all night! ; )Remodeling project has caused time to be used for other than enjoying my music. Tonight my wife put on Moody Blues 'Days of Future Passed' (Deram, 1967 analog recording - digitally transcribed). About at track 3 I came on the scene, stopped the music and put the G2 on the disc. Kind of PO'd my wife because she didn't know why I stopped the music.
About 10 seconds later my wife (who is usually 'I really don't hear anything different' when I'm asking her to compare cables, etc.) perks up and asks, 'What did you do?'. I'm hearing it, too. Without getting too wordsy, there is a clarity, cleanness, and naturalness to the music that neither one of us has ever heard and we've listened to that recording many times since the late '60's.
My wife, who is a music scholar, is noting instruments deep within the music that she had never noticed previously. I'm simply floored by the holographic layering, the cleanliness of the entire presentation and the thought that I'm really just hearing this recording for the first time.
Suffice it to say we were both blown away by this music which in the past had always been much fun to listen to but nothing spectacular from a sonics standpoint.
Gotta' run - my wife has put Mike Oldfield's 'Songs of Distant Earth' in the tray. This should be a trip ; )
Follow Ups:
I tied the original. there was a difference, but i found it drained the life and dynamics out of the music on my transport.
Would it also be beneficial to use for ripping CDs to hard drive?
caution - I tried it once with my first grungebuster, but you have to make sure your CD mechanism doesn't first spin up at 16X or higher even if you tell it to rip at lowest speed. Mine did and centrifugal force did the rest: ripped the grungebuster and destroyed my Steve Tibbetts "Northern Song" master CD.Since that day, I have relied on logic: as long as EAC doesn't report any retries, meaning each of the 5 minimum passes it does over a data area are identical, I don't see how the grungebuster could help with ripping.
However, I write the CDs after ripping using the grungebuster on the CD-R media, at 1X, in a burner that's nice and doesn't spin up to max speed when you tell it 1X.

...duplication process.
a noticeable improvement over the original, which was pretty cool in its own right. Steve deserves a lot of credit for coming up with an even better product at a 60% lower price than the original. The Grungebuster 2 is a great deal!
