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

Should I or shouldn’t I wear a tin foil hat while doing this? Obsurd...been in this hobby for over years and bought one of the very first cd player when it came out, never have I had to do any of this. This is right up there with cable elevators and slinky springs, good gosh....

Audioguy,, why do you think the demagnetizing function is absurd? I’m not being sarcastic, just curious. Some tweaks are obviously scams, but it’s sounds possible this might not be one of them. So I wonder why you think it may be, especially since I spent the twenty bucks to try it out. Not a huge amount, but still...

I’ll post anecdotal impressions after it arrives and is tried. Very well possible I may have been hustled out of twenty bucks, But not being an audio engineer I’m curious to know why it may or not, or should or should not work. Let us know your thoughts on this. Thanks,

Mike

Hello,

Ryan, the CEO of Ayre explained it to me. He said the input or channel gets burned in with a sound signature. By using track one or seven which are sweeps. This removes the burnt in sound signature. It actually works. The three main people at Ayre do this once a week. Also, great if you changed out equipment like if you were demoing a DAC or bought a new cart or phono stage. You just run your CD player with this disc through that input. You can order it from Ayre or if you are in the Chicagoland area the local Ayre dealer which is Holm Audio or:

holmaudio.com

They had these discs in stock when I was at the Ayre, Nordost, KEF event at the store at the beginning of the December.

If you tried the CD and it did nothing for you, no big deal and easy to accept. No product will ever please or impress everyone. If you haven’t actually tried the test CD in your audio system then you comments have no usful value. Nothing other than  "know it all" arrogance.
