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!!

A copy of the Ayre disc, the 1.2 version, arrived yesterday. I tried out track seven on it, the one that supposed to demagnetize. I listened to Joni Mitchell’s Blue and Emmylou Harris’ Wrecking Ball CD’s on my Marantz KI Ruby CD player both before and after using the disc.

I honestly could not detect any difference in the music after using the Ayre’s disc Track 7, which contains the ’Full Glide Tone". I’ll try again after playing all seven of the tracks through and report back. Maybe trying it out using some other CD’s before and after may make a difference. I’m listening to Herbie Hancock’s Blue Note "My Point of View" CD right now. I’ll try that plus something else and report back,

@millercarbon just curious, did you demagnetize your electronic’s or CD’s with the Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser? 
 

@tonywinga when using the Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser on your CD’s did you demagnetize from the label side?

I also have a Radio Shack Bulk Tape Eraser from back in the day and would like to give it a try. Thanks 

Just to add…I also have the Ayre - Irrational, But Efficacious! CD and IsoTec Full System Enhancer CD that really works well. 

I activate the bulk tape eraser then approach the CD label from the side.  I move the eraser back and forth to cover the complete label and then move away from the CD sideways before letting the eraser turn off.  The eraser stays in the plane of the disc.
