any comments on demagnitizing cds ?


i have a furutech demagnetizer, model rd2. i saw one selling on audiogon recently and it reminded me that is gathering dust on the shelf.

i used it a few times and found that cds which i found annoying to my ears sounded more annoying after an application with the rd2.

when i used it with other cds, i heard less noise, but the result was too much detail.

does anyone have favorable results demagnetizing cds ?

I own the Furutech RD2 and have only found it to be positive in my system. I sometimes get lazy and neglect it, but it always lowers the noise floor resulting in a smoother, more detailed presentation. I find it better when I do both sides of the disc, but oftentimes demag only one. I use a Marigo Mat and would have to go through four cycles to be thorough...lol....I always use it when friends are present!
Mr. T I don't know where you've been before joining us recently, but you are now the busiest man on Audiogon. Keep 'em coming, it's fun. I just wish Slappy was still around to chime in.
I've tried the Furutech and hear very SMALL improvements, sometimes I hear nada. Ont the other hand I now use a Nespa Pro light machine and hear HUGE... improvements.
Leec, I would agree generally. I have reduced my treatments with the Furutech to once on either side and hear no improvements after that. The Nespa, cleaning originals, and duplicating them have all given greater improvements. I also use my AudioDesk trimmer only on sacds along with cleaning and the Nespa.
