of the CD. Tried it and it works on a different level from all the rest of the CD tweaks I have and I do own an arsenal of them ranging from
1) Acoustic Revive RD-3 for demagnetizing
2) Acousitc Revive RIO-5 for deionizing
3) Furutech/Orb Destat for removing static charges.
By spatiality, I mean that the soundstage of the playback deepens and instead of 1 single plane of sound emanating, you get layers of sound, very 3d organic bloom to the sound, removing some of the vivid glare that come from treatment 1 to 3 which can make the music full of presence that may be too glaring on the highs

Have you tried the process on a vinyl record to see if it made any difference in sound?
- Thanks a lot, jea48! I will try it over the weekend. - Norm 07:00:49 03/21/08 (2)
  I tried hotbird's suggestion of putting a RIO-5010 in the frige. It does work? I even had my wife remove it while I listen and did buzz her just after she removed it. Weird stuff! I am afraid I am on a very slippery slope.

    I also had a few dis-believing friends when they came to my place to listen the effects of a crystal inside the fridge. All distinctly heard what the crystal did, and I did buy a range of various crystal types to experiment to find out the most effective one. Quite a costly lesson, as I now own a few costly rutile quartz that did not work out as well at the RIQ5010 quartz insulator. Even if you cannot afford the RIQ5010, a simple rose quartz (quite common and inexpensive) will also work in the fridge, though the effect is much less potent than AR's. I owe this idea to Frank Tchang's first original findings of placing his acoustic resonator in the fridge. Without that 6moons infamous report on the fridge, I would not have thought of putting one in the fridge too. I mean, who would be that silly...but curiosity killed the cat ;-)

  many years ago, so kind of impossible for me to test that ;-)
