| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? I repent if that is the article I am remembering. It is actually showing the opposite. It seems familiar so I was just admit to being wrong with having a specific example. This doesn't change my opinion of the thread subject though. | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Zd542 - The article is titled Ethics and the Audiophile Press and was written by Roger Skoff. You can Google it. | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Specifically, I remember one particular person that left the industry and provided their thought afterwords. I thought I saw it on audiogon, at least the link. If I get time I will try to dig it up. Generally, I have never read a truly negative re... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? As a final thought, are you concerned with the magnetic field your speakers put out impacting the playback of your CD player? A lot of speakers are shielded so maybe yours are? This would be a perfect example of a much stronger magnetic field that... | |
| Analyzing the power from the outlet You didn't pay for a "filter", that would be a power conditioner. You paid for a product advertised to regenerate the power. It seems that if you believe what they say then you should take them at their word. | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? I have compared $7 hardware store speaker cable to a pair of $2,000 Nordost, I think, on a very nice system. I did hear a tiny difference that I would say was an improvement, but I didn't think it was worth the extra $1,993 dollars it would take t... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Jea48 - Here's a little order of magnitude experiment for you to do. Find a way to isolate a CD player from your system such that you have no physical connection with it from your listening position. Then have someone pick the CD player up and mov... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Magazine reviewers are biased to be positive if they want to continue doing reviews.There is a lot of science to support the idea that your assumption that it works will allow you to convince yourself that it works. Call it placebo or something el... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? The type of marketing takes me back to the F-150 commercials when Mike Rowe first became involved with the "new" truck. It must have been about 2004 since that is when I purchased a Tundra after driving all of the half ton trucks. The commercial c... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Pseudo science at best misapplying concepts in such a way that it sounds good to the consumer. | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? I did a little quick research and it appears that CD players use photon lasers. Photons have no charge and therefore would not be effected by a magnetic field.Can someone explain what the mechanism is for magnetic ink to influence the playback of ... | |
| Do you demag or destat your CDs/DVDS? Even if the ink on a CD contains some small amount of magnetic materials I am still not sure why it would matter. The interface between the player and the disk is a laser. Is there any practical examples of a magnet effecting a light? I can't thin... | |
| The End Of Big Iron? Interesting question. I would say that 1000 wpc was never necessary. What I have noticed with Krell amps is that they double power all the way down. 400 wpc @ 8 ohms, 800 wpc @ 4 ohms, 1600 wpc @ 2 ohms. Their flagship amps are a bottomless pit of... | |
| Analyzing the power from the outlet Tboooe - I am probably oversimplifying things, but if your regenerator is really generation new clean power, what would the purpose of a dedicated line be? Almost seems like it would be similar to pretreating dirty water going into water purificat... | |
| Which speaker should I choose? The speakers appear to be extremely efficient so I am sure your AVR has plenty of power to satisfy. There is more to sound quality than power as I went from a 6 ohm stable to a 4 ohm stable AVR with great improvement (also an increase in power) to... |
