Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers?

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

Kenl, the gel may wear off over time but not from just one removal.
My guess is that Auric should be more durable than Armor All, Rainex, Novus, etc. which are more of a liquid than a coating.
Sean and others have measured higher error rates reading CD's with the paint around the edge and is not recommended anymore.
