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!!

wouldn't this be a reason to keep a cd player, just for it's supposed periodic benefit?

a cheapo portable cd player would do, correct?

Yes, I am keeping CD players in my systems for this reason and also that I have a ton of burned CD Playlists that we still enjoy. In the 'house system' I'm using a Rotel RCD - 9658x which is at least 25 years old and it still seems to get the job done. 

I use a couple to. I also degaussing my ES Sonys. Anything with a physical hard drive you have to be careful, you'll wipe the drive.. If you open up almost anything that has spinning or moving parts with unlike metals, some become magnetized. There is only one way to fix it.. Degaussing. Same with all stereo equipment. How often is it done. NEVER.. I have R2R, Turntables, and silver disk, I degauss them all.

Please don't degauss a Server and if you do, would you please take a video and post it.. Thanks

Merry Christmas..

I use the Isotek system enhancer CD which is the same as the Esoteric one. I use it twice a year on both set ups.
