Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers?


Do they make a difference? If so what sort of difference do they make? Are they worth paying say $150 for?

Thanks,

Mr. Strassner, the manufacturer of HMS cables rejects all copper for his conductor material that contains more than 6ppm of so called ferro-magnetic particles, becuse more will dgerade the sound. So maybe it is not so far fetched that the aluminium alloy used for cds contain these particles also. Maybe all alloys contain it?
So if this was true, it would indeed make sense what Furotech writes.
I will ask Mr. Strassner about it and let you all know. He is scientist (physicist) enough to shed some light here.
Try this sixth grade science experiment: Turn on the water in your bathroom sink until you have a thin stream. Now run a plastic comb through your hair rapidly, several times. Now hold that comb near the stream of water and observe that the stream bends toward the comb. Is water magnetic? No, but the comb is plastic and so is a CD. Can a staticely charged CD bend a thin LASER beam? I'm not a physicist, so I don't know. What I do know is that no scientific discovery was ever made by a person with a closed mind. Should cables be kept off of carpets? Ask an EE about Miller capacitance. Keep an OPEN mind.
Hi
Yes they work about 75$ worth if you can wait each time you use it and then redo it after 15 mins!.
A better product that does much more is the Auric Illuminator from Audience. Apply to CD ( you can skip the magic marker)and it sounds bigger, cleaner, and clearer. And you only have to do it only once!

Worth the 39$ EASY.

I agree Gregm and Micheal. This may be what Sean experienced with the Bedini. Also CD liquid treatments should last a year or more. Not 15 minutes.
I've got a question concerning the Auric Illuminator gel.

I store my cd's in plastic sleeves that contain a cotton-like material on the inside. The data surface of the cd is placed facing this material. The label side touches soft polyethylene-like material that makes up the outside of the sleeve. These sleeves are made by Disc Sox specifically for cd storage.

Do you think the action of sliding the cd in and out of this sleeve negates the good that the Illuminator gel does? I'd hate to have to apply the gel each and every time I use the disc. I do find the pen and gel provide a weightier and more precise presentation. Good product.

Thanks for any input
