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 ?

Leec, I would agree generally. I have reduced my treatments with the Furutech to once on either side and hear no improvements after that. The Nespa, cleaning originals, and duplicating them have all given greater improvements. I also use my AudioDesk trimmer only on sacds along with cleaning and the Nespa.
Okay, Hbarrel, call it what you want, just don't dismiss the benefits if you have not tried them. You can take a bulk tape eraser to a cd which I have done. It is not as good as what the Furutech does, but no one in my experience fails to hear the difference.
