Considering using this on my CDs for the BCD-1 ...

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. 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

I've often wondered about these, but never could quite justify the price. If I had the opportunity to audition the effect I would jump at it, though - I would like to try it on my CD masters.

I would try it on a couple of CDRs - one untreated, as a control.

Have you tried it on CDRs or just CDs?
