Almost without exception, all digital discs and LPs are plagued with resonance generated by the rapid speed spinning movement, whopping, and fluttering while playing. The resonance mars the clarity, tonality, and definition of the information content on the disc. Elimination of this unwanted resonance enhances the sonic qualities significantly. To our limited knowledge, there has not been to this date any effective means of tackling this problem in the industry. RCC is a semi-fluid of special mineral and chemical mixture manufactured through a highly sophisticated process. It is non-toxic and dries in hours. A disc can be coated with RCC by
spraying finely on the label side. The coating will effectively damp and minimize the unwanted resonance. The result is a presentation of the recorded content with much better transparency, solidity, imaging, and definition, whether the content is music or video. You have to listen, watch, and compare to believe.
This new formula is derived from a similar material called AVM (Anti-Vibration Magic)
developed by UNIKO. AVM chiefly deals with resonance elimination in electronic equipment, while RCC is for the disc media. The RCC project is a joint development between FIM USA and UNIKO, Canada. This proprietary technology is patent pending.

<i>
1) Extract the music from the original CD to
your hard disk the best possible way by using
Exact Audio Copy (available for free at www.
exactaudiocopy.de) running on Paranoid
mode. The software will warn you that it is
not recommended to use paranoid mode, and
that you will damage your drive, but proceed
anyway. It WILL wear out your drive, so use a
cheap CD-ROM drive as using a better drive
makes no difference at this stage.
2) Use a laptop computer running off batteries to
burn music CDRs. This avoids noise coming in from
the computers switched-mode power supply. Just
as you start burning, switch the screen off as there
is usually a small switching power supply to power
the light on the LCD screen.
3) Before burning the CDR, copy the files to an
empty Compact Flash Memory Card (you will
need at least 1Gb capacity) that is DIRECTLY
connected to the synchronous master bus of
your computer, and not connected via USB.
Highly recommended is a laptop computer with
an ExpressCard bus interface. Burn using the CF
Card as the source.
4) Use the best external CD Burner available I
recommend the Plextor Premium-2 or the
Yamaha CRW-F1. Both features Audio Master
Quality Recording mode use the fastest speed
for AMQR, which is 4x. Place the CD Burner
on a resonance-controlled surface like the FIM
Signature Platform, and power the burner with
a linear power supply plugged into a good power
conditioner like the FIM Super Energy Center og
IsoTek Sigmas
5) Choose the best CDR to use in your burner:
a. Black CDRs sound the warmest and most
musical. However, they do not seem to last,
and hence they should only be considered
as disposable discs. Also, it is almost
impossible to find a great-sounding black
CDR these days. The Memorex Black All-Use
that is made by Mitsui is very, very good (if
you can find it).
b. The Mitsui plant in Colorado makes the best
archival-quality gold CDR the MAM-A Pro
Audio Gold Master. <b>However, it is sold 50
pieces in a cakebox and you will find that
the discs on the bottom do not sound as
good as the discs on the top. If you manage
to get a fresh cakebox, store them in a cool
dark place on its side (like you would store
your vinyl). </b>The next best is the MAM-A
Archive Gold is sold individually packed in
jewel cases.
c. The absolute best CDR to use is the First
Impressions Music UD Blank. However, at
$35 a disc, you will probably reserve it only
for your best music.
