Burn In CD s Demag CD s


Can anyone please compare / contrast the Burn in CD's which are available from Purist, XLO, & Reference Recordings (no doubt there are others?). Also there are "System Demag" CD's made by Densen & Ayre Acoustics that I know of. I have not used any of these, but I'm considering trying them.
I believe that I understand the intended use differences between the BurnIn & the Demag discs; wondering if there is any CD available that performs both functions?
Please relate your experiences with any of these devices; are any of them worthwhile & if so, which ones do you prefer? Thanks for sharing!

the purist audio cd is the only one that works. it's worth the money. this cd will break-in your entire system in 6 hours!!
I also own and use the XLO CD and it works effectively on my Theta Digital separates. I can't speak for the other mfg's out there but several of my friends own, use and are happy with the XLO! Regards.
Hi Bob; I own and use the XLO CD. It has a 15 min. burn in track that I use on repeat, and it also has de-magetize tracks-- also a bunch of other tracks for set up etc. I recommend it. I've not used the others you mention. Cheers. Craig
I have no experience with any of the discs you mentioned, but purchased the LLC5 4 in 1 Utility Disc by Audiosource (that's the complete name) from HMV records (in Canada) a few years ago for about $15. It is a complete set-up disc that also offers a lens cleaner as well as a burn-in track and a demagnetizing sweep tone. I use it to clean and demagnatize about once every week or 10 days and it works quite well; the demagnetizing is probably more dramatic the first time you use it, and a little more subtle when used on a regular basis. The burn-in track is very worthwhile (although you don't use it very often!) and allows you to "burn in" components or cables by repeating the track to run for about 6 hours. It all sounds like a lot of voodoo, but I wouldn't be without it. Don't know if I'd want to pay $150 for one of these discs though.
