AUDIODESK CD trimmer lathe *Reference Audio*

AUDIODESK Systeme CD lathe is a very effective CD sound improver. It bevels and trues the edge of CD's to reduce laser reflection and vibration. Complete with tungsten carbide blade (good for 1000 CDs or more) and spare belt.

This is the biggest upgrade I've heard for the CD format. It's so obviously better from the first few seconds in a transparent system, my uncut discs are immediately recognisable now & sound less listenable and two-dimensional in comparison. It gets CD closer to high-end vinyl reproduction. Improves bass resolution, detail & dynamics, and reduces "etch" or glare. Blackening the bevel adds weight and smoothness. Soundstage depth & width and space around performers opens out. Similar to the improvement of SACD over CD
All without softening or compromising dynamics as some CD mats and other treatments tend to do. Direct copies to cheap cut & blackened-edge CDRs (without even cutting the original) can sound significantly better than the original.

This is a "must have" product for any really interested in maximizing the potential of their CD/SACD collection. the price is reasonable and the construction and presentation of the product is outstanding. This results are simply quite staggering. - Richard S. Foster, HiFi+ issue 44, product of the year award
