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

@audioguy85 ,

Should I or shouldn’t I wear a tin foil hat while doing this? Obsurd..

If you tried the CD and it did nothing for you, no big deal and easy to accept. No product will ever please or impress everyone. If you haven’t actually tried the test CD in your audio system then you comments have no usful value. Nothing other than  "know it all" arrogance.

Audio Advisor has the Ayre disc in stock and  mine is already on its way. Looking forward to trying this tip out. Happy holidays folks and stay safe. Once again our collective rigs will be instrumental in helping to ride out out this 4th wave  

To the contrary aluminum is a paramagnetic material.  Take a look at the early mechanical speedometers used in cars.  They used a spinning magnet inside an aluminum ring.  The eddy currents from the spinning magnet applies a torque on the aluminum ring which then pushes a spring loaded needle around the speedometer dial.  The torque produced by the aluminum ring is proportional to the speed of the spinning magnet.  
Whether it is eddy currents or static, the more error correction needed while reading the disc the more the music is affected.  

@tonywinga ,

Certainly plausible.  The premise seems to be that these test/conditioning CDs have an effect on the entire audio system chain rather than only the CD playing portion. Whatever the case may ultimately be,  the overall end result was a net gain in my audio system.

I would encourage those who are curious to spend the 20.00 dollars and come to your own conclusion.
