If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...


I would rather imagine that most audiophiles are aware of this, but if not, may I recommend a very easy tweak that has always produced positive results in every system I've had:

Ayre - Irrational, But Efficacious!

Densen - DeMagic

These are System Enhancement Discs which reduces magnetism that has built up during playback. I'm pretty sure there are other products that purport to do the same thing. These two have certainly worked for me. Good listening!!

I just want to thank you for posting about the Ayre IBE CD. I used it after receiving it a few days ago.  It is effective and improved clarity and fine resolution in my audio system.  Subtle in scale however definitely noticeable.  Quite an admirable feat for 20.00 dollars. I appreciate you bringing this product to my (And others) attention. 

Not every tweak I've tried has been beneficial.  This one is worthwhile. Whatever it's doing to the system components,  the end result is a positive one.

I used the Ayre CD with a Pro-Ject RS2 transport connected to  my Yamamoto YDA DAC.

yes, imagine what tricks AND solid engineering Charlie at Ayre knew…..long ago….

Should I or shouldn’t I wear a tin foil hat while doing this? Obsurd...been in this hobby for over years and bought one of the very first cd player when it came out, never have I had to do any of this. This is right up there with cable elevators and slinky springs, good gosh....

Audioguy,, why do you think the demagnetizing function is absurd? I’m not being sarcastic, just curious. Some tweaks are obviously scams, but it’s sounds possible this might not be one of them. So I wonder why you think it may be, especially since I spent the twenty bucks to try it out. Not a huge amount, but still...

I’ll post anecdotal impressions after it arrives and is tried. Very well possible I may have been hustled out of twenty bucks, But not being an audio engineer I’m curious to know why it may or not, or should or should not work. Let us know your thoughts on this. Thanks,

Mike
