Attention!

The SID is not suitable for CD changers, PCs, portable devices, car radios and TEAC-VDRS drives.


Improves the sound of CD, SACD, DVD-A & sound and picture of a DVD

The Sound Improvement Disc is a device that is placed on top of the CD, resulting in better instrument separation and clearer vocal reproduction.
Die SID ist die günstigste Möglichkeit, Ihr Hi-Fi-System aufzurüsten, die auf dem Markt erhältlich ist.

The best way to hear the difference between normal playback and playback with the SID is to listen to a well-known piece of music for about 30 seconds without - and then with the SID.

All CDs are transparent, even if they are printed. A small lamp held against the silver side of the CD is enough to recognize this. In addition, a CD can be removed up to 1.3 millimeters from the laser. However, since the CD is only 1.2 mm thick, it is possible for the laser to "see" through the CD. As a result, the error correction also reacts to the different reflections caused by the imprint. The SID has a matte finish on one side that absorbs the stray light from the laser. This relieves error correction, resulting in a wider sound spectrum and smoother sound reproduction.

The SID is only 0.3 millimeters thick and weighs 2.8 grams, so it fits into almost any player.

Which model for which CD player?

The SID comes in two models: model 14 for Philips and Sony and model 15 for certain top loaders, players with Pioneer fixed platters and Maridian 506 + 508.

Why are there two models?


There is a very good reason for this:


Model SID-14 is for Philips or Sony drive CD players. These drives have a conical spindle with a diameter of 15 millimeters at the base, which tapers to 14 millimeters at the level of the top of the CD (see drawing). Since the SID rests on the CD, the 14 millimeter hole fits exactly and the SID can therefore run centered. (All other products on the market have a 15mm hole, which may cause an imbalance that causes vibration.)



Model SID-15 is for Pioneer drive CD players, where you insert the CD label side down. This spindle is cylindrical in shape, the SID must be placed under the CD - the SID Model 15 first, matte side up, then the CD on top.


The Model 15 can also be used with:
