Improves the sound of CD, SACD, DVD –A & DVD
sound & picture
The Sound Improvement Disc is an accesory that is placed on top of the
CD , results in a better separation of instruments and a much clearer
reproduction of the voice.
The SID is the easiest and the cheapest way to upgrade your HI-FI system.
The best way to hear the difference that the SID makes to the sound is
to play a piece of well known music for a maximum of 30 seconds without
the SID , and then the same piece with the SID in place.
All CD,s are see through no matter if they are coloured or not. One only
needs to take a small torch and hold it against the silver side of a CD
to see that the light is visable through the disc. It is also possible
to move the CD up to 1,3mm away from the laser. Being as the CD is only
1,2mm thick it shows that it is possible for the laser to actually see
right through the CD. With this in mind the correction system reacts to
the varying reflections it sees from the label thus giving the system
more work to do than is necessary. With this in mind the sound will be
very much smoother as it has hardly any interruptions induced by false
information from the correction system.
The SID disc has a special matt finish on one side and this side is
placed to the CD label so that the stray laser light is absorbed , the
green colour changing the red light of the laser into black thus
neutralising it.
The SID is only 0,3mm thick and 2,8gr. in weight so it will fit in
virtually every player.
It is probably the cheapest way to improve the sound of CD that there is
on the market.
NOTE!
The SID comes in two versions;
1) Model 14 for Philips and Sony Transports
2) Model 15 for certain top loaders and players with Pioneer stable
Platter and Meridian 506+508
ATTENTION!
Not suitable for players with;- magazine, PC’s, portables and car and
TEAC transports
Why model 14 & 15 ?
There is a very good reason why the SID comes in two versions.
The model 14 is made for CD players with Philips and Sony type
transports .These transports have got a spindle15mm diameter with a cone
so that when the CD is on the spindle it takes up 1,2mm in height (see
sketch) thus reducing the diameter on top of the CD to 14mm diameter.
The SID sits ontop of the CD and fits exactly to the 14mm diameter so as
to run concentric with the CD. (All other products on the market have
a15mm hole which allows them run excentric which shakes the whole
mechanism)
The model 15 is made for CD players which have a Pioneer transport where
the CD is placed label side down on the turntable. This spindle has a
longer parallel part and the SID must first be placed on the spindle ;-
15mm diameter matt side up then the CD on top.
