If you have a CD Player, you need to do this periodically...

I would rather imagine that most audiophiles are aware of this, but if not, may I recommend a very easy tweak that has always produced positive results in every system I've had:

Ayre - Irrational, But Efficacious!

Densen - DeMagic

These are System Enhancement Discs which reduces magnetism that has built up during playback. I'm pretty sure there are other products that purport to do the same thing. These two have certainly worked for me. Good listening!!

Audio Advisor has the Ayre disc in stock and  mine is already on its way. Looking forward to trying this tip out. Happy holidays folks and stay safe. Once again our collective rigs will be instrumental in helping to ride out out this 4th wave

My Ayre disc arrived yesterday and I played the entire 19 plus minutes straight through at moderately low volume. I next cued up the Mofi SACD disc of Breakfast in America"- which has been a standard reference album since my Tech Hifi days.

 

Granted this is not the best SACD out there IMHO, as it tends to be a bit bright. Playing it through from start to finish it did sound quite good, with  warmer mid range and clearer bass. So my ears pricked up to that.

 

I will clearly have to more serious listening of other discs from my collection,but just wanted to throw in my initial impression out. I am curious since my DAC is in my Yamaha CD/SACD player will I also reap an additional benefits in regards to that?

 

My  version of the Ayre disc is from 2019.
