any comments on demagnitizing cds ?


i have a furutech demagnetizer, model rd2. i saw one selling on audiogon recently and it reminded me that is gathering dust on the shelf.

i used it a few times and found that cds which i found annoying to my ears sounded more annoying after an application with the rd2.

when i used it with other cds, i heard less noise, but the result was too much detail.

does anyone have favorable results demagnetizing cds ?

Mrtennis: You blasted Robert of Ridge Street Audio for trying to sell his product through the forum and here you are doing the same thing. If you want to sell something you should do what the rest of us do and by an ad.

I really have no idea why people respond to your moronic posts. Given your stated preferences, you have no credibility where sonics and judging audio equipment are concerned. People in the pursuit of magical and accurate sound can learn nothing from you, and obviously you're not interested in learning anything from the rest of us.

For Audiogoners who may have missed it, here's a highly amusing (and telling) post from Mrtennis:

i like a dull, veiled, laid,back, boring sound capable of putting me to sleep. i hate treble and i don't like detail. i like subtractive coloration to such an extent that all recordings sound the same. you can talk about detail, neutrality all day long. if you don't tap your foot, it doesn't matter. i want to relax, not bothered by detail or dynamics. veil the sound and cut off the highs. darkness and dullsville is my motto, by choice. thick caramel syrup makes me happy.

Go figure.
Good sound vs. bad sound may be a matter of opinion, Mrtennis, but accuracy certainly is not. Your April 10 post tells us what you like, and for most members of Audiogon your ideal system would be a nightmare.

While Robert of Ridge Street Audio was merely being enthusiastic about his product, you were posting an advertisement in a forum. That just isn't right.
