Is this for real?


After flipping through the latest Musical Direct Catalog last night I saw some "system disc" products. Prices ranges from $19.99 to $109.99. These discs are suppose to send some sort of demagnetizing frequencies to clean out your system (speakers, components, and cables).

Has anyone tried these products and do the work? I wonder what will they think of next?

This is just about the silliest thing I have ever heard. "Demagnetizing tone" - gimme a break! Just how in the heck do you demagnetize copper and silver (your wires, interconnects, etc.), they are not "magnetizable". And, even if they were, how is an audio tone gonna demagnetize them???

Next thing you know, someone will claim that their optical cables are magnetized and need "fixing". Wake up, folks, and stop being so doggone gullible...
I think that this will really work to extract somewhere between $20 and $110 from your wallet, depending on how much you might need to have extracted. The thinner wallet will allow for more comfortable seating and hence, better listening.
Wow...I am seeing both sides of the spectrum. I must admit I am still a little skeptical about these products.
Yes, it is typical of the "both sides". We have two people who have used the product and think it works, and two that haven't and think it doesn't. Now if someone wants to chime in who has used a product like this and think it doesn't work, I'm happy to accept that opinion too.
It is good to be skeptical. Cardas deas have a good ear though. If there was no difference/positive sonic impact, he would not be selling of have his name attached to this disc. I was skeptical at first, but I figured that for $20, it is worth a shot. Additionally, Ayre would not be promoting this disc if they did not think it had a positive sonic impact on performance as well.
