I have been using cleaning disks,with demag for over 20 years....clean the lens,and demags to.
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!!

@r29y8u92 - as a PHD scientist how on earth did you come up with a name that looks like a random generated password as a your Agon name? A variety of tracks featuring specially developed algorithms, which create a unique set of signals to reduce burn-in time and ‘run-in’ equipment. The disc can also demagnetise audio and audio-visual components.
The Full System Enhancer CD is an intensive ‘workout’ for your audio system. The disc includes specially developed signals to help ‘run-in’ new equipment, as well as demagnetising existing hi-fi components and rejuvenating your entire system. It is important to exercise an audio system across the full range of frequencies and amplitudes it may encounter in real life, and to this end the tones on this disc have been devised to cover the complete audio band from top to bottom, also ensuring that, for instance, high-amplitude signals are combined with high-speed ones. In electronic terms, the required signals feature lots of high-speed activity coupled to some high-amplitude excursions. All of these signals have been produced according to strict mathematical criteria, so as to place the greatest stress on the important parts of a system – without, it is important to note, endangering any part of it. |
I put in the Chesky demo disc ran it for a while, Class A system. Did the track 7. Then back to the demo disc. My noise floor is -93dB and speakers 19 woofers and 2 inch horns, both Faital Pro. Perhaps a bit better in the midrange but details were the same. I think that running a frequency sweep through a system is good in that it gives parts a full range of exercise. Just like a break in it loosens things up. |
I just want to thank you for posting about the Ayre IBE CD. I used it after receiving it a few days ago. It is effective and improved clarity and fine resolution in my audio system. Subtle in scale however definitely noticeable. Quite an admirable feat for 20.00 dollars. I appreciate you bringing this product to my (And others) attention. Not every tweak I've tried has been beneficial. This one is worthwhile. Whatever it's doing to the system components, the end result is a positive one. Charles |
