This seems to take care of leaving behind lint. I do have a problem with the Viva towels leaving threads of paper behind. Some of what I snap off with the RC cloth is paper.I find sacds to be very realistic in terms of a wide and deep sound stage but somewhat recessed relative to the RC copies of their hybrid layer. Also the RC copies are considerably more dynamic with a sharper leading edge. They are more startling and brass has a nice ripe edge and clearly better bass. I am continually torn by the wish to run the sacds through the RC burning.
You are right about the number of tests that I am tempt by. Last evening I was comparing HDCDs through my Exemplar 5910 versus playing them through my Exemplar dac which does not decode them. They are different, but I am uncertain which I prefer.
