Can anyone tell me about CD demagnatizers?

Do they make a difference? If so what sort of difference do they make? Are they worth paying say $150 for?

Thanks,

KF

Hold eraser about 1/4 inch from CD, hit the button and slowly move the CD away from the eraser about 3 feet and you're done. Makes a noticable difference in the sound. Try it, you'll like it!

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.
