Bedini Ultra Clarifier

dc55110

Anyone have any experience with the Bedini Ultra Clarifier (dual or quadri beam)? I recently had a chance encounter with one at local hi-fi shop. Now I will preface my next statement by letting you know what I heard was through one of their reference systems (Wadia 581i Se CDP > Ayre KX-R pre > Ayre MX-R mono's > Wilson Maxx series 3). With that said... The sound difference between a cd played without the Bedini treatment and the same played after was not only noticeable but undeniably better - much more clarity, increased volume, wider soundstage!

At less the $200 new for the dual beam I think it might be one of the greatest sound improvements for the buck.

But I'm cheap, so now to track down a used one.

You should be able to acieve the same effect with one of these, they go for about $19.95.

That's what I thought when I was told what it Bedini was supposed to do. Then I heard it. And then I tried it again. And again. Then with another system at the store, same result. Call it snake oil now, try it, then tell me what you think.

I was seriously trying to offer a cheaper solution, I forgot to mention that you must glue two magnets to the bottom of the DVD rewinder.

If you are willing to spend the money, the Bedini is great, but it's not complete on it's own. Here's what you do, make sure you do it in the order listed, that's critical for the best results.

Start with the Bedini, but don't run it once, run it twice. After treating with the Bedini twice, go to step two, which is the Auric Illuminator CD treatment:

Use just the drops, as the pen is not very effective, it's the wrong color. Use the CD Stoplight instead, much better results:

Your almost done now, so onto the final step:

Presto, your done!

If you thought the Bedini was good, wait until you try the full treatment. You will not only think the band is right in your living room, you will actually feel the performers sitting on your lap! It's amazing.

Dammit-somebody always steals my ideas. That's the last time I bring one up at the bar. :mad:

I was about to mention the Machina Dynamica product. Brilliant stuff. Take a look at some other goodies they have to offer:

Caveat, I have never tried any of these awesome tweaks so I can't vouch for them myself, but word of mouth is a powerful thing...
