Tweaks such as demagnetizers ionizers for lp's

Records are made from non-magnetic materials. They can't be magnetised so there's no need to waste time and money trying to "demagnetise" them. And please don't dish up the nonsense about transition metal ions in the printing ink on the label. These are present in such low concentrations as to have a negligible effect.

Now I'll await the hordes of buyers of demagnetisers who spent several hundred dollars and definitely heard an improvement.

Yes, the concept is valid. No, you don't have to spend much at all, not even $200. The results do vary from lp to lp.

Mag/demag can have a profound effect on tubes and cables, but don't try this while they are in the system. Remove them and do the deed on a table a good distance from your cartridge.

With digital discs the results are more uniform and profound.

Supposedly, the Tourmaline treatment stuff (negative ions) has even better results but needs to be applied more often. I haven't tried this myself but there is some good evidence to support the claimed results.

I have heard the results and they they areastouding to say the least. The Furutech Demag certainly does the job. The difference is not subtle. I wonder about the Walker device. Rushton says it works. If it is anything close to the results that the Furutech demag, it is a steal.

The Radio Shack bulk tape eraser works well. It was discontinued some years ago but is available at very good prices on Ebay. For LPs and CDs and interconnects.

As Tzh21y says, I've had great success with the Walker Audio Talisman and use it as part of my regular LP playing routine. I also use it on my cables and speaker dynamic drivers weekly.

Last week, we had a group of 35 members of our local audio group together. The topic for the meeting was to share tweaks you find effective. The system was an all digital system and I demo'd applying the Talisman to CDs. Everyone heard a very positive improvement in the sound. Then I demo'd applying the Talisman to the cables and speaker drives. Unanimously, everyone heard yet a further very positive improvement in the sound of the system.

Highly recommended for vinyl, CDs, and your system cables and speaker drivers. It really does work.
